New post [Group buys] F104+SSK+122+62+77+50+Ergo orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards

New post [Keyboards] new model f troubleshooting and delivery rant

Hello,
When we last spoke you asked me to wait for you to submit an order for additional parts which you noted that you'd definitely be ordering, and I would be mailing you free replacements for anything that was damaged in that same shipment. I checked my emails and received no such order from you

Hello Lucar, I tried to reach you via PM, but sadly the system doesnt work anymore. Could you maybe send me the files for the barrelplate assembly, because I am currently also restoring a beamspring, which also needs a new plate? :)

New post [Keyboards] New, Compact Model F: Thoghts and Tilting the Keyboard

I wish to point out that my preference in keyboards is the Model M 122 "Type I" or the Model F 122 (same basic design), with its tilting feet in the most extended position. I am clearly in the minority for this preference, as practically no other keyboard was build with this level of tilt being

Note that a PCB for the M0116 or M0118 would not necessarily work for the Apple Desktop Bus Keyboard // IIGS. The latter keyboard has the switches on the top row oriented vertically whereas on the M0116/M0118 they are horizontal like on the other rows.

New post [Keyboards] IBM 5324 Model F Keyboard (System/23 Datamaster "floortop" keyboard)

Hello,
@fricked Do you still have the internal controller and parasite board?
I am a 2x5322 and a future 5324 owner. I want to take down the lack of keyboards for those machines by reproducing them. The 5324 keyboard is the same as the one from the 5322, with an additional parasite board that alters
