Photoelectric took the board to a machine shop and I believe the shop had to use presses to straighten it out. I believe the ano shop was a separate place.

That seems to be the case, thanks!    That is still one of my favourite restoration projects and gives me hope for any future projects that people might be considering.

Very droll, sir )

there was a pdf or png somewhere which could be used as template to cut the holes in a new foam layer for the kishsaver. somebody still has it or know where I could find it?

[wcass]

Sure. Print this at 100% and see if it is correct. you might need to adjust the scale slightly so that it comes out exactly right (or slightly smaller than exactly right).

Do all model Fs have a metal plate or is it only the 4704 boards?

All Model Fs have a steel plate and at least a steel bottom plate. They're awesome.

Yeah they are, I tried Hoff's and CBA's. I can't get it out of my mind. I've been trying to source one for a few months.

Actually no, the 4704's are the cast case, the rest of the standard F's have a plastic top and stamped steel bottom, with the AT having a plastic bottom.  But the plastic they use is very solid for this vintage of plastics.  It is a bit brittle as evident on many cracks on the 122 and unsaver variants.

Yikes. So nice. Did you do anything to the case to remove paint or was it like that when you got it?

Edit: just saw previous post

Do you just have to put odd keys in for those couple odd sized keys? I see snoopy went black blank, I was wondering if that was the reason.

I still really want to try buckling springs, I would be even more pleased to try out the capacitive switches in model f's and kishsavers. I'll continue to drool on my own time.

Just got this yesterday, and so far I am really enjoying it.  It is my first foray into Model F and was surprised at how good it felt. 

Overall the board is in pretty good condition, but could use some TLC.  I want to refinish it sometime, but am not quite sure what color or how to yet.  I have debated paint, powder coat, and cerakote so far. 

Also want to split the right shift out for happy layout, but im in no rush for that.

 

p.s. Sorry for the potato and necro, but I figured we would be seeing some more posts with Ellipse's new project coming up.

Before you get too excited about split shift, you should know that it will be 1u,1.75u instead of 1.75u,1u like the HHKB and other such boards have. Fair warning.

I opted to not split due to this.  :-/

That said, modifying the layout is surprisingly easy so go nuts.  :D

Keep that layout! That's my favorite layout

Was not aware of that.  Thanks man.

It is already programmed for the happy layout, so i'll just leave it as is.

This is the best way to split imo, I wish more board would offer this. Rshift is uselesss 95% of the time anyway.

Also, if you can do without Right Alt and Ctrl, the Right shift split gives you a nice arrow cluster.

Anyone know where I would begin with straightening this bent edge?

I don't want to wing it, having no knowledge of metalworking, and ruin the top case.

[CPTBadAss]

Take it somewhere to have it put in a metal press

I was almost in this club, but I was stupid. I hope whoever got my two are enjoying them with all their heart!

Thanks bro.  I'll have to look around and see what I can find.

[CPTBadAss]

Autobody shops or like a small machine shop should have em. You can also pick 'em up at like Harbor Freight or hardware stores.
