It's a new listing with a lower price, but it is a relist of the one you had posted.

Unfortunately no way to tell in ebay listing if it's a relist (or is there?).  Would have commented in previous thread had I known.

122-key terminals always have ISO-style Enter and short Left Shift

Haha thanks. And thanks for not pointing out that I probably should have know that.

I don't think you're ever going to find a better deal on a 122 than this. Especially considering the condition. Cleaning is the most boring part of a restoration and these boards wouldn't even need it.

i actually find it very fulfilling to clean a dirty keyboard :D
of course i'd rather just get a clean one, but i really don't mind if it's dirty.

Dirty, clean, I don't care. I am going to completely dismantle it and re-build it anyway.

Would Soarer's convertor (from orihalcon) suffice to connect one of these to a modern PC?

The only thing is this would cost me around $60 - far more than a keyboard would :))

Orihalcon's gear works great and he makes one for each style of connection.

But build one of these, and you can swap around with all of them:

So the question is whether to get this f122 or the M version that's also priced well, lol.
