Some days ago I got my two model f XTs, here is a teardown of one of them (to salvage model f flippers for my FSSK).

Neat # replacement on one of the keys. I hope you enjoy yours. I am still converting mine to USB. Hint:
Don't use a pro micro for this, use a Teensy

Oh, nice, did you get these from seebart? The kind of corrosion reminds me of something I know...
If you like to sell one of them or leftover flippers in the future, I'm interested.

Maybe , I will think about it, but I have no leftover flippers, I need self 1-2 more to finish my FSSK build (and a pcb ) and the keyboards are from ebay.Halvar wrote: ↑Oh, nice, did you get these from seebart? The kind of corrosion reminds me of something I know...

I bought a lot of 4 Model F XTs from ebay recently, and after restoring 2 of them, have a lot of leftover parts in good condition. The bigfoot PCB and plate look the same as mine (5150s). If they are, I have 2 of those that I can sell, along with flippers/springs. Let me know if I can help.
(edit - I looked closer and see that the PCBs are a little different. apologies!)
