Yeh I have a couple, I'm no good at taking photos though!

Some stuff has changed on my setup so I'll post an update

Strange people like myself would be willing to pay more xD Strange people like myself did pay more, quite a bit more. :maverick: Was it worth it? Sure. 8-) You lucky sod! Finding one in the UK is proving rather difficult. I suppose I could buy one off ebay for a ridiculous amount and pay half of th...

Wonderful find!

Definitely consider yourself lucky getting this for such a good price! Strange people like myself would be willing to pay more xD

Will you be converting it to be usable on a modern machine or leaving it original?

I can't seem to stop buying keyboards... You're not alone in that here. ;) :lol: Although once you get most of what you want to try or set out to get things start to mellow out. Unobtanium is the joker, get lucky or have more patience. I don't even know if it will start to mellow out. I literally b...

I can't seem to stop buying keyboards, just noticed Unicomp were selling some new in box model m's on their site. Granted they're the later Lexmark models but I just couldn't pass up the $80 deal.

You can always try reseating the spring too, fairly easy to do if you have a decent light and some tweezers. How can i do that exactly? Gently pull up on the spring until it pops off. Shine a torch down the barrel and youll see the little notch on the flipper where the spring needs to sit. Take you...

Cabron!

Can't remember if I posted in here but o well this is a new pic anyway

I managed to replace springs by using a torx driver that i put in to the springs coil then pushed down to seat it on to the hammer, they're fairly easy to replace but can take a while to get it seated perfectly.

These badges look almost identical to the original industrial badges! Unfortunately I managed to scratch my industrial case recently but it does still look pretty damn neat.

seebart you are truly the master of memes on DT

Shame they are so hard to come across now.
Posting mine

I did this recently, just heat the badge up for a few seconds with a hair dryer and cut underneath it carefully with a sharp thin blade. If it's not staying off for long there should be more than enough adhesive left on the badge to stick it back on to another case. Same deal with the LED overlay. I...

You brits are crazy, it seems the only bad parts of the xt layout are the only ones you kept xD vertical enter and split left shift are my 2 least favorite parts about my F XT. The vertical enter on the XT is horrible, I simply can't use it, nor can I use the tiny backspace on the AT Model F's. Mod...

I use ANSI but I really do prefer ISO.

EDIT: I noticed we mentioned earlier about "missing out" on the WCass/Seebart badge. For sure we are going to have another run of those with Phase 1 btw (both for SSK and full size ovals). I think wobbled has like 90 indy badges left from his repeat order. I have around 75 ish left now, I originall...

Oh thanks for letting me know, I'll see if they're still interested

Not sure if you guys spotted this already but Unicomp are selling some industrial cases under their warehouse liquidation page. Just bought one!

Won this bad boy / hot piece of ass for only £163 Nice, and you won't need a badge for that one. ;) :lol: Ikr! All 100 badges arrived today and I have absolutely no idea what to do with them. I put one on a lexmark board that I painted (see the post your keyboard / keycap topic) but the 99 others a...

Had no idea this club existed since I am relatively new here!

Here is my IBM Model M Industrial SSK from 1992

Won this bad boy / hot piece of ass for only £163

Painted a mediocre Lexmark Model M today, added an industrial black badge, put on some white key caps and this is the result

Let me know what you think

Ended up winning the bid on that industrial model m

Model F 107 & Industrial SSK. I'm no good at taking pictures so these will have to do.

Thank you

I'll just post the one I usually put on 4chan.

I actually went to PCBWay and provided them with the order number and asked that they produce more and send to me, they did it! I can finally put an authentic looking badge on an industrial of mine.
