IBM Model F AT restoration
« on: Fri, 23 February 2018, 06:41:58 »
There are many threads but most of them are very old and miss many pictures.

I'm going to do a IBM Model F AT restoration, with conversion to ISO, and, at the end, a spacebar mod. Is there any thread that I could follow? Thanks

I did a thread, and in my first post I link to an earlier thread as well.

With the link you already have I think that's plenty of examples, no?

If the contacts are set up for an ISO Enter, it should be no different from the other varieties of mods. I don't have an open AT but you could tell by looking at it for a few seconds.

I have several ISO Enters and so do a lot of other people, probably, but international shipping is slow and expensive.
