I sold the board on 11/17/19. Thanks for stopping by!
Timestamp and Photos:
I am selling my beloved F107 that has had extensive work done to it. It is 'Industrial Grey' Powder-Coated, Xwhatsit'd, ANSI-Modded, and has an APL keyset from Unicomp. The plate was powder-coated black and, for the entire build, see this post.
The keyboard works superbly, but there are a few things to note about it. Firstly, since it is a project keyboard that has not been bolt-modded (i.e. 2-3 bolts added along the center-line to keep everything together), the switches can get jostled during shipping and will need adjustment afterwards. I will do my best to ensure that it is packed well, but you should feel comfortable servicing it if necessary. Secondly, the top plate has a slight bend to it. This is a common issue that does not interfere with the usability of the board but be aware that the case does not seal completely. I received it this way, and I am unsure whether anything can be done to fix it. Finally, it is missing a few of the screws but finding replacements shouldn't be a problem (anything that matches the originals will do).
Not really sure how to price this -- there hasn't been a huge market for F107's lately. I am asking 550 USD shipped to the CONUS, and will quote shipping to other countries. I will entertain offers on it, but bear in mind that this is a rare piece that has had a lot of work put into it.
[SOLD] 'Industrial Grey' Powder-Coated, Xwhatsit'd, ANSI-Modded IBM Model F107 (4704) w/ Unicomp APL Keyset

Congrats on all your work here.
Would of actually put through a bid but Ellipse still owes me my F77. Still have not heard anything from him or even received anything as of yet.
If he's done a runner with all my money, then maybe I would buy your keyboard as the last hope of ever owning and using an F Keyboard.
Good luck with sale, truly worth acquiring.......
