Not a bad price for a big boy that appears to have almost all its caps.

I think it'll work with a soarer.
Also, I thought "unsaver" referred to a model F 104-key (122 that's missing the tenkey) as it's a "space saving" model F, but doesn't save any space (it's almost the same width as a normal model M) hence unsaver (bit of a pun).

You are right but IMO anything with more than 87 keys is an "unsaver".

If anyone looked up the part number, you'd see that there's at least one vendor who says they have stock of kishsavers. I think they are like $300 or something like that. Then again, lots of places show stock of items they actually don't have, so maybe it's a lie like the others.

This is a pretty good price. These kb's provide lots of parts, and some people (like me) like the layout.

I got the F-122 because it was the only way to get a Model F in near-ANSI layout.
I must say that while I never really warmed up to the Omnikeys I used to own, after 2 years I have become very dependent on both sets of Function keys and like the F-122 layout a lot.
As long as you have the desk space.

I would recommend converting the protocol to USB with a soarer, which supports all kinds of USB HID codes and macros.
