Looks nice although the PF1-key isn't original.

Mine now, though I'm a little annoyed that it was bid up to the full $125. I was hoping to get it for the lower auction price of $89 instead of the higher buy it now price of $125.

I'll be selling some other F122s in the near future, I don't really need more than one of them!

Love those alpha caps! Good snag XMIT, at least it was only that much higher, could have been worse!

Nice! Original IBM APL keycaps look great in person and are interesting from a historical point of view. Check out this typewriter-based APL REPL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DTpQ4Kk2wA).

The seller has a few 6110345 F122's that could be used as donors for the PF1-key doesn't seem to be original to the board.

I've got another F122 that can donate a real PF1 key, so no worries there.

joc did you say you had found a Model M with APL key caps?! Photos please!

I'm considering getting it restored by Maxx at phosphorglow.net. I'll post more pictures once it's clean and bolt modded.
