IBM Model F weights
« on: Thu, 24 May 2018, 04:25:42 »
Hiya guys, I need some help preparing for a video I'm doing in a few weeks. Specifically, some weight measurements. Could people please provide me with a (fairly accurate) weight (digitally weighed, not including the weight of the cable, please) of the following Model F keyboards:

-5291 "Bigfoot" XT model
-3178 or 3101 "blue button"
-F104 "unsaver" keyboard
-4704 F50
-4704 F77

Thanks in advance, guys :D .

I have an Unsaver but it is packed up for long-term storage, and I also modded it - ANSI, new foam, floss, and probably stuffed some padding in the case.

Still, probably not more than 50 grams additional.

“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.”"

5085 104 variant is 3474 grams. I'll see if I can weigh a 77 key later today, life's keeping me busier than usual.

Well, the scale I was using only has readability of 0.5g, so there's some error margins there. It does measure up to 5kg though, so it's a decent scientific scale that I instead use for kitchen related purposes :D
