Awesome review glad to see a review of this keyboard, out of curiosity does a Model F26 require a bolt mod?
And know you've reviewed the another 60% how would you feel reviewing a 30% board  :eek:  ;)
But yeah cool review

Not really, no rivets on a 4704 Model F that need replacing. The foam between the frint and back plates can degrade a bit and cause sensing problems when the PCB is dirty though.

My F107 refurb thread, there are a handful of others around: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=75722
