IBM Model F-122 $79.95 shipped
« on: Mon, 03 August 2015, 18:10:39 »
Here it is. A few worn spots in the paint, but otherwise it looks quite good—and it's the 6110347 with all the fun blue secondary legends. Hope you get it! – A.

That's an excellent price.  Assuming the board's case arrives undamaged, open it up, replace the foam, ANSI mod it, put in an xwhatsit controller and boom!

Even if the case does crack, picking up an older style M122 to modify to fit wouldn't be too much.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Mine. Mwahaha. I was looking through my saved searches last night, saw a good deal, and picked it up.

This is my second F122, so, if this one works, I may be willing to part with my older one. Maybe.

chyros I thought you were saving up for an FK-9000 or something.

Yeah, I am xD . I'm beginning to get increasingly worried I'm not going to get it, though xD .

Besides I haven't come across ANY kind of terminal keyboard at the recycling centre yet, or a model F.

Congrats on the purchase though :) .

Glad you got it, dude. BTW, will you please ask your wife to remove the hatchet she left sticking in our front door? Thanks!

I would consider any F-122 under $100 shipped to be a great deal, between $100 and $150 to be perfectly acceptable, and I paid $175 once and did not feel cheated.

But as with all ancient IBM iron, prices are all over the place and unpredictable. One good gauge is to ask the question as to whether there has been another one on sale on ebay for "x" number or weeks or months. If it has been "dry" the price is likely to spike up.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
