6110347 is an F model number.

It's odd: looks like an M bottom panel in several of the pictures, but the middle few clearly show an F

Buymyprinters is back at it again.  I think that is the DavidB guy that posted here with a treasure trove of keyboards.  Right location, right business.

Well, it's not like he posted the auction link here. But some people tend to see Geekhack as one big open wallet, for some reason.

Can't blame somebody for trying to make a few bucks.
