This will be the only F-122 I am selling for a while, and/or until I find some more raw material.

Please do not thread-crap this sale with a bunch of "Good luck with sale!" nonsense, legitimate monetary offers, please.

I am entertaining offers, and prefer private messages. I plan to see what happens over the next day or 2 before and/or until I move the sale to ebay. The highest offer at the earliest posting will win, if I get an adequate offer.

This is an F-122 with unbroken beige top case shell, internal Teensy with pull-up resistors, and long white USB cable. There are a few dings in the surface finish (look at the lower corners) but no breaks. This is a fully functional ANSI-modded keyboard, ready to plug and play.

CONGRATS!

Didn't I tell you not so long ago to be patient and offer it at a price worth your while? But $350 was way above what I thought it would go for too... whew!

Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

This was not the previous one that had been part of the "stealth" project, that I put in the repaired/painted gray case with M-122 bottom. I sold that one on ebay for $182 shipped a couple of weeks ago.

This one is complete and has the unbroken beige top shell and uncut metal bottom pan.

Yowsers.  $350 has to be some sort of record for a Model F.

Especially for that kind of Model F.  Those regularly sell without a Soarer for $50-100.

Even nasty untested ebay specimens bring prices in the mid-$100s these days.

If you see one under $100, you should snag it quick.
