This would go well with your Kishsaver and 50 key banking keyboards. That way you would have all of the Model F bank keyboards except for the F77 of course. I can't imagine Orihalcon has very many of these left.

Looks to be in nice shape, but $300+ for one without the angling foot seems steep.

Powdercoating looks to be in fantastic condition though.

Orihalcon sets selling price based on condition. This one is particularly nice, and, I agree, there can't be many left in his warehouse.

This one looks a little nicer than the one I bought from him. The extra $44 above the standard price is likely from all the included clear keycaps.

Can you Frankenstein together this with an F122 (which has 24 function keys, but lacks 'Windows keys' and four of the keys in the 3x5 group, and has a big Enter key) to make a monster 131-key board?

JP, do you think you could find 77 Key 4704 at your local bank?

You got the magic touch

I would highly doubt there is anything like that at the banks in my immediate area but it is a good idea to look into it still. There are different avenues I could pursue in such a quest if I had an income stream which didn't require me to show up to work :( There is also a chance I could be moving soon so I have not been scaling up my efforts to find stuff.

I am certain there are some banks with 77 keys lying around.

Probably in New York.

Just thought I'd point out how ironic it'd be if you ended up spending all your dough on banking boards—you know, sort of like a kangaroo jumping into its own pouch.
