If you have more than 59 posts, and want a Model F or Model M, enter your DT username here!

Both of these keyboards were gifted to me at one point or another by the community:
- Model F AT, which I ANSI Modded: $50 + shipping (covers a few materials and time)
- Model M, New (?) in Styrofoam: Free + free shipping if less than $18

The F AT has pics in my old collection post: viewtopic.php?t=16477

Once it's March (Eastern Time Zone), sign up will close. One keyboard per winner. I'll randomly select two winners and flip a coin to determine who has the first choice. You'll hear from me via DM as I'm not collecting emails in the form. Don't shitpost or spam to hit the mark; I will check your post history. I can ship internationally.

I'm also going to sell a bunch of keyboards. If you know me, I'm not getting rid of my entire collection (Lexmarks are staying). Just downsizing due to moves, new hobbies (like cooking), and the fact that my representative collection is currently complete. I'm also working full time for a keyboard company. Between that and achieving my collecting goals, there just isn't much motivation to do more keyboard stuff at the end of the day.

The upcoming sale for other keyboards will be on eBay to reach a wider audience: https://www.ebay.com/usr/devrial

Feelings about the platform vary, but it is what it is. Once this concludes I'll return to sporadic lurking.

I'm on it. So, the model F is a price but you have to pay for it?

Yep, just to cover some time and materials. If it had arrived in good or restored condition it would be free now. Regardless, it's hard to call $50 anything other than giving it away when that's $150 to $250 less than the market rate for stock F ATs.

The upper plate was sandblasted and repainted with self-etching primer (the paint job isn't perfect but it beats rusty neckbeard droppings). New foam. PTFE dry-lubed. Deep-cleaned case and keycaps. ANSI-modded. It received a fair bit of attention.

Question, will you be selling your Pace VG-101? That one is of interest to me.

It's Lexmark-branded so I won't be selling it.
