Added an F AT.  Please PM or reply in thread with questions or offers!  I can be quite accommodating, especially if you have a long history at GH :)

If this sale lasts until the end of the day, there must be a lot of idiots out there.

I would have tried to buy this in a heartbeat if the Orion v2 sale didn't start.
In the very odd event that this hasn't been picked up in 2 weeks I will bite. However, like fohat said, that would just be dumb for this to last that long.

Added a rubber dome model M.  I used this board for a lot of first-time mods (see the OP for exact modifications) and they were all successful!  Maybe interesting for someone who likes the old school keyboard but needs something quiet.  Pretty distinct feeling that is different from any other keyboard that I've tried, mechanical or not.  It has a thockyness to it that reminds me of Topre but with a much different force curve.

just saw this ad

$160 shipped is dirt cheap for an F AT that has been cleaned via disassembly (ain't easy), foam changed, xwhatsit added, etc. I got my filthy F AT for like $150 shipped conus without a single of these services.

I am no longer into model F so I'm not buying. But I think it's foolish not to pounce on this great offer. If only I saw this ad 2 years ago!
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Added an Amiga keyboard that I was going to harvest for parts but couldn't bring myself to do.  Note there is a comparable eBay listing (that I am not associated with) here.  You might consider that keyboard instead of mine if you need an Amiga keyboard that has been tested and/or if you want the matching mouse :)

Yeah, that Amiga definitely looks in excellent condition. I even wondered if those caps were dye sublimated at the first look!

A bit pricey to me, though.

I solicited some price checks beforehand and used the only eBay auction I could find to come up with the price.  I've set it at $65 assuming $20 for shipping and PP fees.  I am open to offers.

Can I ask how you cleaned the Amiga keys? I was planning on retr0brite-ing my amiga but I don't want to do the pad printed caps.
edit: also want your amiga too, because I want a set of caps to use NOT on the amiga. but im broke :<

I soaked them in hot water with Oxyclean and baking soda.  After a couple of hours I rinsed each key individually under the sink and tossed them around in a towel to dry them off.  The Amiga keys appear to be fine but I can take close-up pictures by request!

Nah that's great thanks. I'll keep them out of my retr0brite bath for now and do them individually later.
