Good luck! Hoping you get it.
BTW, I also got an other version of IBM Model F(if one you're going to get is battleship, mine is destroyer) recently and it's amazingly good :-)

darkspider which Model F did you get - blue switch, Bigfoot, XT, AT, F107? (I doubt it was an F62 or F77 but maybe it was!)

I used to call those things Aircraft Carriers to be honest.  I remember that was the first thing I thought of when I first had to lug them from RoomRes to IT....
Carrying 3 at a time...  Yuck.  Heavy buggers.

Meh. I've decided I don't need another. I hope someone here gets it.
