I would like to offer the community IBM F revival services. The extent to my services will be cleaning, mat replacement, floss mod, Soarer converter for XT's, and xwhatsit controllers for AT's and others with a ribbon connector. I can also do ANSI conversion on AT's however I am going to pass on the short space bar mod until I do one for myself.
The customer will be responsible for all purchasing all materials prior to shipping to me with the exception of replacement mat and material for floss mod. I have converted an XT using a Teensy and Soarers converter firmware and am currently typing on my AT that has had a controller swap to xwhatsit. Upon either xwhatsit or Soarer conversion, I will flash with what ever layout you would like, though keep in mind I have not worked with function layer on Soarer yet.
Prices
Mat replacement - $20
Floss Mod - $20
Xwhatsit install - $30
Soarer conversion - $10
ANSI Mod - $15 on its own Free with any other dissassembly based service
Clean and dry of caps - $15
One thing is I will not be doing BigFoot style boards unless you have swapped in standard XT innards.
I will be updating this thread as new stuff develops.
Here is a video showing the before and after on the floss mod for my AT. This keyboard does not have a case so the ping is very evident off camera.
I now have plates in hand for F 122, Unsaver, XT, AT, and Xtant. Mats for these no longer require shipping plates to me provided that is all that is needed.
I can also add keys, I currently have a plate heading to a customer I did this mod for, and I will post pics in the near future of what the plate looked like with caps at my end. I do have a jig for this for accurate locating. It currently works for the extra 4 keys around the arrows on Unsaver and F122 plates. I have not tested it on others. It also works for the win key locations, though pcb compatibility is hit and miss.
