Haha sorry! I need some for a Model M.

I already got my Model F working perfectly fine.

The pic used in your OP is the pic used on the Unicomp site.  Surprised you didn't find them already: http://pckeyboard.com/page/Misc/PVPLASM

Also, your thread title still says "Model F" instead of "Model M", you can change it by editing the OP.

Oh I know about them. Just ordered from them a while back and don't feel like paying for that shipping cost again.

From Unicomp: 101 pivot plate/springs (assuming you're replacing them all) = $20.20 + $6.30 shipping to Texas = $26.50 total.

Probably won't get much cheaper than that...

You're probably right, to be perfectly honest. I bought all 40  that ClickyKeyboards had, and they were a steal. $1.00 per ten pivot plate/spring assemblies.
