I'm interested in the F122 case

Hello Dustgod, you've got a PM!

@ orihalcon

Hello Aram,
I've simply taken a transparent sheet, put it over the metal plate and with a marking pen I've marked the holes.

You need a 7mm hexagonal key, something like this:

I've faced the same issue a while ago pixelheresy, wobbled was right, a crapped out membrane.
I solved with a new membrane, you have to take the keyboard apart.

Here is an excellent guide from madhias:

This is a great update Brad, I'm really happy to know that things are going better with your baby girl!
After the storm the sun always shine!

A strong hug,

Yes!

@limelight: I've recently replaced the foam of an IBM 3101 with a 2mm art foam with a good result, you have only to
build up a template and then using a 15mm hollow punch to do the holes.

What a magnificent painting work!!
You've got a PM.

@lot_lizard: Refund received. Really sorry to hear about the situation you go into. We all in the forum appreciated your person, a truly Sir and irreplaceable forum's companion. There will be better days Brad, after the storm the light will be. All the best for you and your family. A strong hug, Gio...

Welcome back Brad, nice to hear that you are ok!!

Thank you XMIT for the update!
Hope he is ok, an update from lot_lizard would be greatly appreciated.

A tool that helps with spring attachment would be great for sure, in order to to the job perfectly. I think that with this kind of tool we can get the chance to achieve a flawless standard mounting procedure with the spring fully seated and perfectly vertical every time for all the flippers! Doing t...

That M13-style overlay looks pretty spiffy on the industrial case. It looks like the same overlay on the M13 too, did giokkkk use a graphic or template to have it made? Agreed... I think he found the picture somewhere, along with a link to Webwit's stash at one point at least https://deskthority.ne...

Voted for Torx!

Remember the fishing line trick for getting the XT spacebar back into place? Another drama that the FSSK will spare for us! You bring up a nightmare hyper, the fishing line trick and bending the spacebar spring in order to reduce the effort actuation!! :shock: It has been really challenging, I've t...

@lot_lizard: I think that it could be useful to post a step by step guide for the assembly instructions in order to check for the users if they have enough skill to be able to mount by themselves the kit or if they have to choose the mounting assembly option.

Voted for spring!

Great news indeed!!

Lot, there will be a chance to have a new set of F springs?
From what I remember in one of your previous post you were in contact with a factory that is able to built them.

New springs makes the difference for sure!

Just in case lot_lizard get's lost in that page :) - Germany to EU -> 17EUR -> 19USD - Germany to non-EU, but in Europe -> 30EUR -> 33USD This creates funny situations, e.g. shipping to Cyprus is 17 EUR, and shipping to Lichtenstein, which is right there on the border, is 30 EUR. Yes alh, DHL "hate...

, I would like to know what the AVERAGE shipping rate would be from Germany to the outskirts of the EU for a box that measures 62cm x 24cm x 10cm with a weight of 2.75kg . I can account for these costs for anything domestic (US) already, but am ignorant about inter-country shipping within the EU (t...

Here an excellent how to link for modding the spacebar in order to achieve the right actuation weight. I did it on a IBM Model F AT and XT. Works like a charm, now writing with a model F is a fully real pleasure!! https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/model-f-improvement-dis-assembly-tips-and-space-ba...

carloratm, you have a PM!

Great job alh, you did an amazing work!
