IBM Model F PC/AT - high price

Link.

Looks like it's in good condition, but up to $100 already. That said, by the standard of these keyboards, it isn't too overpriced.

I can't believe people pay $100 for those.

It has a pretty good feel for a scissor switch though

If anyone ever has an extra spring from a rebuild (or whatever) PM  me and I'll swap you 10 Model M springs!  

I want to experiment with putting one in a Model M and see if it works.


For $20 you can have 83.
