That M122 is tempting at that price, even without the keycaps.

I can get one locally for $50, but the first thing I'd to is an ANSI conversion, and I'd hate to throw $50 away if I broke something.

Any idea what postage would be to Melbourne?  I know these are large and heavy.

I had a quick look and regular post would be about 20 dollars to melbourne 3000.  :thumb:

The M-122 has the old-style case that can be fitted to an F-122 with about 1 minute's work with a Dremel or wire cutters.

If you have an F-122 with a cracked or broken top shell, or just want to upgrade it in general, replace it with this.

You mentioned adding stems for the missing keycaps - that's just the bottom half of 2 piece keycaps, right?

My other half didn't say no, and I should have funds shortly.

Do I need to buy through GumTree (not a member yet) or would we be able to reach a deal via GH?

Yes stem is just the bottom half of the 2 piece cap but because it is you I will add them for free before shipping, just send me a PM and we can sort the rest out that way. I will take the listing down, obligation free of course so if you decide you don't want it its all good I will just put the listing back up.  :thumb:

Cheers
