Just throw some model M caps on and should be good to go. If the controller for whatever reason is bad, it can be upgraded to an xwhatsit.
Spacebars are the other slight issue since M type won't work without workarounds, but that is doable too.

Damn. Was hoping no one would post this. I plan on bidding on one. I need more model f in my life (for my office daily driver).
They're both ISO, BTW.

After getting flak (one of our Aussie friends even called me a "rat bastard" when I was new) for posting auctions, I generally make it a policy to only post Buy-It-Now items.^ this. if it's buy it now or best offer and the BIN price is fair, just buy it. don't try to get greedy, you'll lose the item. a good deal you get is always better than a great deal you don't.
And, as I have said many times, if you see a Buy-It-Now at a price that you consider fair - JUST DO IT !

Well, first one went for $47, the other went for $89. Hope you placed decent bids because getting an F-122 even with work needed for either of those prices is more than fair. The first one's a steal.

Yeah, I think I will switch to posting just buy it now items from now on as a few have suggested.
I am glad you got the first one. I wish I would have bid higher, but I'm not upset and I don't think you sounded like a pig...
It should have went for more. Even with the crack on the side of the case...
Yeah, I often wish ebay would let me specify: I'll bid up to $50 on this one, but if I don't get it then I'll bid $45 on this other one which finishes a bit later, and if not... Surely there is some sniping service which lets you set up a wishlist of items in this way?
Even included a wire today. Unfortunately it is a model m wire
So, just wondering—has anyone tried to fix this kind of break on an F?:Show Image(http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc265/FinallyAnAvailableName/model_f_break_zpsm7gw8igw.jpg)
That's the photo from the F-122 I won, and the zoom-in I failed to do, thus I didn't see the break (doh!).
I've heard JB Weld is good for cracks, but how would you replace a missing piece like that? Maybe it's just going to be that way?
Grats on the stabilizer wire. He was nice enough to send me one, but it was for a model M :(.
That washer trick is for the 107-key Model F, which I think means the PC-AT keyboard. It won't work on the 122-key, which has two little hooks for the stabilizer wire.

I think that they all have the "hooks" aka tabs, they have to go before they can be replaced with something else.
