Damn you guys just seem to want me to spend all my money. How much does it cost to get in  the kish club? Im looking for an all original one, doesnt have to be perfecct.

Money shouldn't be your concern as much as finding someone who's willing to let one go, I think.
Im pretty patient, Im just waiting on the day someone finds boxes and boxes of f77s and kishsavers in the back room of a bank :)) But seriously, Im sure someone has a kish they would sell me.

I just got mine a couple weeks ago for $375 with shipping.  This seems to be about the lower end of the average going rate for a complete one.  A couple years ago there was a box of 29 (if I remember right) but a good number of them had missing caps, scratches, debts, or very dirty.  Cleaned up they do fetch a premium.
How about a beat up one missing caps? I dont care what it looks like, I will fix it up.

There is a long line of people interested in these boards.  Not trying to tell you it won't happen, but realistically you'd have to get very lucky or try very hard.

Just wondering but what are you guys running for voltage threshold and what columns are set to skip for you guys on your Kishsaver?

I have mine sent to 125 and for column skips the first two and the last 6.

If I hold down the 4 keys for each standard home row position and jiggle the caps, I can get a quick flash of a key from the other hand.  Should I bump it up a couple or leave it there?  Keep in mind this test was down not in any case and just sitting on my kitchen table testing a grounding issue that was causing a full line to not sense at all.  Pretty sure I have that one solved.

resurrecting this glorious thread

found a nice carrying case this week:
https://www.casematix.com/product/casematix-scout/

the dimensions are almost perfect for the kishsaver with very little modding of the internal foam needed (it comes mostly pre-cut).

from the outside:


sitting in the case:


internal foam:


the corner with less foam is to put the wire-organizer-thingy:


I can plug the kishsaver in directly, but prefer using this usb-a to mini adapter so it's easier to swap keyboards.


highly recommend this case  :thumb:

True but if I had a Kish my HHKBs would still be my daily carry boards.

As payment for a Kish I'd be happy to carry it around for a few days though.  :))

You can buy new one from https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/product/f62-model-f-keyboard-kishsaver.
Is it any good?

People seem to have liked it.

Although that's an F62, not a kishsaver

Time to share my most recent acquisition.  I am extremely grateful to be able to have a new one after having to sell the blackish a year and a half ago.

The case is in very good condition, and I think I will be keeping the original paint on it.  Very minor chips and scratches on it, but i love the character it has.  Some of the keycaps are damaged, but I plan to keep as many of the original keys as possible.  Moving forward I plan to convert it to USB and change it over to happy layout.  While I have it apart I will probably repaint the plate since I assume there are issues without even looking. 

On to the pictures.















Here is one issue ive noticed, but unsure if i will do much beyond trying to straighten by hand.  My concern with taking it to be straightened would be damage to the paint.

Awesome get! My F107 has a similar bend in its case, it's something I'd like to fix but as you mentioned, I worry about the paint. If you do end up trying to fix it I'd be interested to hear how it goes.

Awesome get! My F107 has a similar bend in its case, it's something I'd like to fix but as you mentioned, I worry about the paint. If you do end up trying to fix it I'd be interested to hear how it goes.

The last one I had, had a similar bend to it.  I think it may be a common issue among those types of cases.  I was able to use a little force and straighten it out by hand, and will probably try the same thing with this one.

I have had my eye on one of these for years.  What is the best way of going about getting one?

look around for news of banks getting rid of old hardware, contact recyclers with known connections to old financial equipment, get the word out as best you can to the relevant people etc.
cross your fingers extra hard and be prepared to wait several years
It's like, dude, you gotta re-evaluate
Your perspective and your priorities, because
You started doing this because it was ****ing fun, you know?
It has to be fun
Otherwise, you're just torturing yourself, you know?
You're... you're just stuck inside your own ****ing head

hey! kinda new to keyboards but im hoping to eventually build a grail board and i LOVE the look of kishsaver cases.
so...  this is probably a very stupid question, has anyone purchased a case from model f keyboards and then used a different pcb and mx style switches? i love the sound of holy pandas and purchased some of those so was wondering if they would work in this case?
apologies if i messed up any of the terms or anything, new to this. Also if anyone has any tips for doing this or has done this before, all info or help would be much appreciated!

good luck finding one on ebay or used without paying through the nose.
