Title: Filco 87 alucase on realforce 87u
Post by: serec on Tue, 27 March 2018, 09:17:00
Will a filco 87 alu case work on a realforce 87u? or is the internals really difference. Just curious since I saw someone selling an filco 87 alu case

The gaps between the various sections of keys is different between the two, therefore you can't swap cases.

Yeah it won't work as clasicks/zslane have mentioned.

I believe the only two cases that have been sold (that work with the RF 87U) are the Digilog and the Norbaforce. One is expensive, and the other is still being manufactured.

There is a third. A very old case developed by KBDMOD.[attachimg=1]
