Title: [Give Away] IBM Model F XT
Post by: neverused on Mon, 09 November 2015, 21:49:07: Edit: the winner is livingspeedbump!

This forum has given me a lot, I've gained priceless knowledge, met great people, and been the beneficiary of many generous members. With that said, I would like to propose a give away. I have one IBM Model F XT that I purchased from compgeek on DT. It can use a little cleaning, but I am assured that it is in working order, as he checked it on an original system. With a teensy as a converter, this maybe a fun board for someone.

The give away is this: please nominate a member that has shown you or others generosity. Give details, we want to know all the good deeds going on around here. After one week (ending November 17, 2015 at 11:59pm AZ time), I'll tally up the nominations and announce a winner. If the winner accepts, I will mail the board to them directly.

Details: You cannot nominate yourself. CONUS if possible please, though if someone like bunnylake comes in, wags his fluffy tail and wins, I'll find some way to get this beast of a board across the pond. You can nominate more than one person, just please do separate posts so I can sort easier.

Have fun and I hope we get a lot of nominations!

With the Free Stuff thread and the pay it forward threads we still have no nominations yet?

Post by: noisyturtle on Tue, 10 November 2015, 18:26:53: Ohhhh man, I forever regret selling my F AT a few years ago.

I never help anyone, so no one will nominate me :(

and so through a random generator I nominate... Booper

Post by: Badwrench on Tue, 10 November 2015, 18:55:56: Second nomination is for codyeatworld. He has been so diligent behind the scene over at ctrlalt getting everyone their stuff and apologizing when he has no need to.
Title: Re: [Give Away] IBM Model F XT
Post by: Badwrench on Tue, 10 November 2015, 18:57:56: Third nomination is 1swtgs. He is new here and has been doing it right. He is very positive with his posts and asks genuine questions (both in pm and in thread). It's nice to see a new member really try to be part of what we have here rather than just crap post to get in a bro sale.

I also nominate Badwrench, who also auctioned off stuff for Destiny but he's too modest to say so.

Post by: njbair on Tue, 10 November 2015, 20:51:33: Nominating livingspeedbump. I was recently made aware of one newbie with whom lsb spent a lot of time in PMs and emails, answering questions and offering advice. I'm sure that newbie is one of many who we never hear about. Not to mention everything else he's got going on around here.

Post by: Remenition on Wed, 11 November 2015, 12:40:42: Nominating BroCaps for similar reasons as BunnyLake. He took so much **** over that silly post count drama and people on reddit have just been absolutely nasty towards him. Despite these facts, he still continues to make awesome caps while somehow balancing his family life.

Thanks for all the nominations and kind words (: My short time here has been so welcoming and everyone here is freaking awesome! Gives me an excuse to pound away at my new mechs! I really feel as if I'm a child and you all are my parents nurturing me to become well versed in mechs, artisans, keycaps, etc.

He's helped me out quite a bit, saving me a lot of time and research with my current interest check along with all the other ic's I see him involved with. Good guy, Oobly.

*Missed the CONUS part. I standby my nomination. I'll help with shipping if he was to win.

Title: Re: [Give Away] IBM Model F XT
Post by: Hexterdude on Mon, 16 November 2015, 20:02:35: mobbo and kaztenkinder

Mobbo- great guy, started around the same time i did and had some pleasant conversations about caps. First canuck I talked with on GH

katzenkinder - this man is a god and overall a super nice guy. He's underrated and work extremely hard in order to make his caps the best they can be, he deserves our respect or at least a chance to get that IBM
Title: Re: [Give Away] IBM Model F XT
Post by: ander on Tue, 17 November 2015, 02:00:29: I really, really am tempted to nominate Snowdog993. He's indeed very generous and likable—but the reason I'd nominate him is because I know how much he dislikes Model F's and it'd be a real laugh if he won one. :?D

Other than that, it's a very hard choice, as there are so many great, helpful people here. A few come to mind right away, but I know they have as many KBs as they'll ever want.

So I'll put in my vote for:

SamirD

...whom I believe just recently got started in the wonderful MK world, and is really enjoying it. I don't think he has any style of Model F yet, and I know he'd get a charge out of fixing this one up. Plus, he's a really nice dude.
Title: Re: [Give Away] IBM Model F XT
Post by: rowdy on Tue, 17 November 2015, 03:34:52: I'll also nominate Snowdog993 - he doesn't hesitate to hop in to help someone with any buckling spring questions. He has responded a number of times to queries I've had, and usually posts a couple of pictures of his collection as inspiration.

Although as ander noted, he apparently doesn't like Model F, so make of it what you will.
Title: Re: [Give Away] IBM Model F XT
Post by: rowdy on Tue, 17 November 2015, 03:37:29: I'd also like to nominate fohat.digs, who often provides valuable technical advice with a succinct and easily understandable explanation, and usually involves some sort of buckling spring device. He also provided some valuable non-keyboard-related advise in my speaker thread recently, as well as writing an excellent F122 ISO to ANSI conversion guide that I intend to follow to convert mine.

Thanks so much, Pwner for the nomination, I'm flattered, but I think I'd prefer it to stay in CONUS since the shipping for a Model F is high and it doesn't make much sense. Thanks again, though.

Yes, he's a swell guy. And now I'm starting to hope more people will pick him, just so we can enjoy how he reacts to the idea of winning a Model F. :?)

Post by: livingspeedbump on Sun, 06 December 2015, 08:32:15: So! I have not forgotten to post here. techmattr was overly kind as well and is making me a cable for this keyboard for free :eek:

Soarers converter is doing the job well, typing on the keyboard now. I have been using the XT as my daily driver the last few days, such a wonderful keyboard!

I always like keeping vintage boards stock if i can. Naturally the red plate isn't stock, but I can easily refinish that if needed. The USB connector in the back was selected so that it would fit tightly into the slot without having to cut anything.

Monday the caps I ordered from unicomp will arrive :) When the cable arrives I will post a log of everything in the keyboard section and post a link here!

So! I have not forgotten to post here. techmattr was overly kind as well and is making me a cable for this keyboard for free :eek:

Soarers converter is doing the job well, typing on the keyboard now. I have been using the XT as my daily driver the last few days, such a wonderful keyboard!

I always like keeping vintage boards stock if i can. Naturally the red plate isn't stock, but I can easily refinish that if needed. The USB connector in the back was selected so that it would fit tightly into the slot without having to cut anything.

Monday the caps I ordered from unicomp will arrive :) When the cable arrives I will post a log of everything in the keyboard section and post a link here!
That's great news! Looking forward to seeing the restoration log.
