Help With Model F AT Alt ANSI/Model M spacebar Mod
« on: Sat, 14 January 2023, 02:49:52 »
Hello,

Could anyone by chance point me in the right direction on how to do the model m spacebar mod with two alt keys?

I currently have an already pre ANSI modded (aside from the spacebar) model f at I purchased.

I’m very new to modding keyboards let alone buckling springs and model f’s so detail is very helpful haha.

Also looking to lighten the spacebar as well if that already isn’t done in the process. I think I’ve seen people do it a few different ways.

Am I correct in assuming I primarily need to just find a model m spacebar and order two barrels and flappers from modelfkeyboards or is there more needed parts wise?

Thanks for your time, I appreciate it!

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

Hello,

Looking at Wcass's thread it seems that the pictures are missing. Would anyone by chance have them saved somewhere? Still seems to have some decent writing on it though.

Interesting. For me it says attachment invalid or does not exist on WCass's thread. Appreciate the links though, lots of good info.
