(SOLD)
Approx. 73 IBM Model F barrels and 83 Model F springs - $40 shipped CONUS, PM for shipping elsewhere
[attach=1]
These were taken from an IBM Model F bigfoot (5291-2) that I found back in the trash in 2010 and disassembled back then out of curiosity (when they were worthless, for it was before any converters for them are made). I was unable to reassemble it. I posted about that keyboard in this thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=9632.0).
These have since been sitting in my parents' basement before I found them again today. Several barrels and springs have gone missing, but I am selling the remainder. Not sure what you would use them for (new Model Fs? Repairs? Switch testers?). A Model M keycap should be compatible (and the keycaps from that 5291 got mixed into my Model M/Model F/Wheelwriter keycap collection and are almost indistinguishable, unfortunately)
