Title: Getting someone better equipped than me to fix a Terminal Model F.
Post by: Morning Song on Sat, 03 October 2015, 13:19:42

Soooo it's been forever! Hi!

Anyhow, I was a dumbass last week and managed to spill stuff on my old IBM Terminal model F (The 6110668) keyboard. And while the thing has been a trooper, this has left it with a number of keys that don't click, and several that don't respond. And all my attempts to get the inside of the thing open have failed miserably, and I'm at the point where I really don't want to lose this thing and I figure someone in the US has to be able to fix these things.

Anyone know anyone with this sorta knowhow? THanks!

Snowdog should know exactly who could help you.  He's got a ton of IBM stuff.  I'm surprised he hasn't posted here yet.

You could also try messaging ezrahilyer, who works on M's and F's.  He does good work.
