Selling my working, great shape modded Model F keyboard. Ready for use as it or to be tweaked for how you want it. Comes with a Soarer adapter and a lot of extra Model F and Model M keys as well as 2 Model F barrels and 2 more barrels with flappers and springs. When I got it, it was missing a few keys. I got a junked out Model M and used a few keys from the Model M. G and Z. Might be hard to tell but the G and Z keys are fuzzier. The original Model F keys are all crisp. The Model F key...s are the 2 piece keys in the pictures, on the left. The Model M's are on the right. The extra keys are all there to make any config happen if you don't like this layout. Sell the extras if you like.
The caps lock and ctrl have been swapped and the ISO enter mod was done. The mod resulted in the smaller ISO Enter key and a bigger modern Backspace. The numpad was reworked as the pictures show. Print screen and Esc are on top of the F pad. Everything works perfect. No keys bind. The spacebar spring was adjusted to lower the pressure needed on the normally crazy hard to push Model F spacebars. Both feet work. The body has small nicks. The cable is original and does have a couple gouges/cuts covered in electrical tape, fingers pointing at tape in pics.They don't impact the operation.
This thing types like a dream. Great sound. Vintage beauty with modern mods. I'm selling as smaller keyboards work better for my new home work situation. For anyone looking for a daily driver Model F, here it is in all its glory. I would recommend this for someone comfortable or curious about layout remapping with the Soarer adapter. If you like the layout you see, then no changes would be needed as the Soarer adapter maintains the current working config. No reserve auction. Thanks for looking.
