OK, I got my first model F yesterday, and even if I can't use for real yet, I am in love with the way it feels! Makes my filco feels cheap when comparing both side by side. Except for the F spacebar that is quite stiff, but I read that it can be mod.
So I am now in a desperate need for a soarer converter!. Since I want to leave my F pretty much untouched, I would like to build an external converter. My F is an XT 5150 (I am pretty sure, not opened yet, but the pictures correspond and it has the round din connector. But since I am new to this kind of things, even after reading most of this thread, I would appreciate some tips on the parts to get. From what I understand, I would need a teensy (or similar variant, someone posted a 5$ thing recently, just can't find it now), a female din plug, a box to put it in, and some wire with bread board to put it all together, with the usb cable (already have one). So it would be super nice if someone could give me some recommendations!
Also, well I would like to mod the spacebar to be lighter. I tried to search on the forum, but the search feature is not giving me what I want. And even if it's build like a thank, I am sure I would manage to break something. Finally, if someone has other tips to restore an F it would be appreciated!
Thx all
