Just saw this Industrial XT come up on eBay this morning. I believe it's the non-buckling spring version because the keycaps appear different than the usual XT ones. Still, I have never seen one of these for sale anywhere, and it might interest those of you who collect. :-)

Price is buy-it-now $250 plus shipping, but the seller is accepting bids too, so it could go for less.
EDIT: Note the 1.99 thrift store sticker in the last photo (hope they remove that photo - I messaged the seller, hehe)

Thanks, I didn't remember what kind of switch they were supposed to have, but knew it wasn't BS at least. :thumb:
Does this still technically qualify as a Model F or did IBM have a different name for them?

I would suspect they're not considered an F by IBM but I do not know what their part number/designation would be.

For sure it had different part numbers at least. IBM gave every ****ing screw a different part number xD .
