IBM Model F AT restoration
« on: Fri, 23 February 2018, 06:41:58 »
There are many threads but most of them are very old and miss many pictures.

I'm going to do a IBM Model F AT restoration, with conversion to ISO, and, at the end, a spacebar mod. Is there any thread that I could follow? Thanks

I did a thread, and in my first post I link to an earlier thread as well.

With the link you already have I think that's plenty of examples, no?

If the contacts are set up for an ISO Enter, it should be no different from the other varieties of mods. I don't have an open AT but you could tell by looking at it for a few seconds.

I have several ISO Enters and so do a lot of other people, probably, but international shipping is slow and expensive.
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”
