What the hell were they thinking with that layout... ???
-
I wish that these were still selling in the $20-30 shipped range. I would love to have 1 or 2 to strip for parts in hopes of the XTant project actually becoming real.

fohat, with so many listed, they WILL sell cheap eventually.

It seems only rarely that an XT model F sells for under $60, and even rarer that it's in the $30 range. If you look through ebay's completed item search, you'll see the above is the rule, not the exception.

How much did you pay for it?
-
Until 2 years ago, you could hardly give an XT away for shipping cost.
I have bought and sold a few when they were cheap. Like many people, I bought dirt-cheap XTs to see what the Model F mystique was all about, a Hagstrom converter (at 3x what I paid for the XT itself), later my Soarer's outboard converter, and concluded "Wow, what a great feel, what can I do to find something that I could actually use in real life?"
The XTant project really intrigues me, and I think that it could really happen if it could be cobbled together with parts stripped from original Model F keyboards. This would be strictly an enthusiast mod, with dozens (or possibly a very very few hundreds) of users, at best, but man-o-man what a great idea!
However, if F XT prices climb to the point that they are too valuable to strip for parts, the concept will probably languish.

I saw your post and my jaw dropped.
I had been posting a number of these in the past few months, before my Chinese New Year vow that I won’t post auctions anymore to avoid driving up prices. And now prices have skyrocketed.
I was encouraging people to buy F XTs for 50-60 shipped to introduce them to the Model F. But now this is ridiculous. This is not worth the money.

Ah, so you really loved the layout ^-^
-
I think that the layout is bad, yet not bad enough not to be usable. At home, I type very few and I game more and for gaming, it's doing a good job. Even the stiff spacebar ain't that bad. I will probably mod the spacebar one day when I restore the keyboard in full, but it's still winter here so it will wait!

Its not bad, but can be improved.
Sold one of the three XTs today for $40, saving another one for another day, the third one is my personal one (which I have yet to sucessfully convert)

Bought one of the three XTs today. Thanks, Pacifist! Now I have to get in line with fohat.digs for the XTant project.

Someone has listed another PC/XT keyboard:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/371027920510
However, the seller seems to think it is a PC/AT keyboard.

There has been 5-6 XT at this price or more for quite a while. They just don't sell.

Last summer I had 2 clean, nice, tested XTs that took a couple of weeks to sell at the $30-35 price point + shipping (one was local pick-up).
That seems about right, particularly if an AT can be had at 3x-4x that amount.
