IBM 6052101 3178 Model F Terminal?

I can't remember seeing one of these before. Anyone know what it is? Maybe a great find for someone, maybe not.

Since seller is looking for $125, I'll paraphrase you...

This configuration has important things that the F XT lacks.

But the big question is:

Is the case all metal?

I would read all of the Twilight books if it meant I could get a metal case to clad my F-122 in...
