Actually yes, but no. Right know i'am a little scared to open up and bolt mod the "thingy" (classic ibm keyboards are very rare here). After i will accomplish (or abandon) my custom keyboard development, maybe i will fix that.

Welcome to Geekhack!

I think I replied to your other thread.  There seems to be a plethora of duplicates today :))
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Welcome.  Also, unless I'm mistaken model F does not require a bolt mod as the metal plates interlock with metal tabs.
