IBM Model F "Bigfoot" Terminal Keyboard
« on: Wed, 07 February 2018, 08:10:10 »
Here's a BIN for $110 plus shipping (with OBO) on eBay for a Model F "Bigfoot" terminal keyboard. It has a Lexmark Model M sticker on the back, so the seller is a bit confused as to what he has. :)

I spotted that one a few weeks ago, at this point the seller may be open to offers. Really neat board.

These used to be listed regularly, but they're not turning up very often now, are they? Opinions are mixed on the generously sized case (memorably described a few years ago by GH icon jdcarpe as "all the benefits of the XT layout, now in an even bigger size!"), but I think the built-in wrist rest is a plus.
