WTB: IBM Model F Pivot plate/spring & cherry DS keycaps
« on: Mon, 20 August 2012, 08:41:26 »
I need one pivot plate/spring for a Model F.  One of the plastic hammers on my F XT broke (on the F10 key) so I'm in need of one.  Picture of what I'm looking for below.

I am also looking for a nice set of cherry doubleshot keycaps with moogle kit (white on black). 



FOUND EVERYTHING! Thanks guys.

They're not plastic. Otherwise good luck. ;)

I had a sig once but it's gone. It used to display an icon of a Kinesis. Just imagine that.

Some sort of metal I assume because they have to influence capacitance. But I don't really know anything about such matters. ;)

I believe it's called carbonized plastic. Quoting sandy55: "When the key press downward and the hammer meets terminals on the PCB, capacitance between the terminals are increased and then a switch turns ON." Someone's tried a NON-carbonized plastic hammer (i.e. a plastic hammer that didn't come with a Model F keyboard) - that failed to activate the switch.

Did you like the Cherry DS caps on the Filco numpad I sold to you? The DS caps are best caps I tried so far. Even if you get one set that doesn't shine, it will get shiny pretty soon, so getting a shiny set is not a completely bad idea if price is right.

Good luck getting one!

Yeah, I love them.  Nice fat lettering.  I'm hoping I can find a moogle kit too.

What keys do you need exactly?

http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/cherry-ds-capslock-bottom-rows-switches-relegendables-t3093.html

I'm looking for all the keys necessary to outfit a Filco TKL.

So the moogle kit should consist of (at a minimum):
2 Control (1.25x)
2 Alt (1.25x)
2 Win (1.25x)
1 Menu (1.25x)
1 left Shift (2.25x)
1 right Shift (2.75x)
1 Spacebar
1 Caps Lock

For the F pivot/spring, you should contact Paranoid, he has an XT with broken controller and was willing to sell the parts.
