Great news!

I was feeling pretty bad because I started this whole thing and it looked like some of you were getting screwed.

But a very decent deal on an F-122 and a free M-122 is making out like a bandit!
“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

Seller did contact me and sent the Model F. Just got it today.

Gave the seller a good rating cause I got to keep the Model M.

Next step, build converters for both of them...

I would be happy if I got a free keyboard out of the deal :).  Glad it worked out.

Mines an M.  Contacting seller and we'll probably send it back
