Will this have the cable hole in the same place? How does it look compared with the original system? Will you make one for the 3014 as well?

I still want to keep as many original parts as possible, so the original cable is retained in the design of the metal shell in 2014. I don't want to build an adapter inside the keyboard, which brings instability to the keyboard. The design of f122 metal shell also retains most of the original features

The price is being negotiated with the supplier. For some designs that are not very important but will increase the cost, they have been optimized and will be produced soon

If you could make an IBM 4704 F107 case (and if you or another could make a PCB and plate), you'd be filling a demand niche for the people who bought into the F77/F62 reproductions.

I’d be interested in the 62, if it fits my OG Kishsaver. ;)

I’d also be interested in a 4704 F107 case. A Model M case would also be great.

I Think Joe must have his reasons for not doing F107. The final price may be very expensive

My idea is to replace some parts and let the old keyboard continue to shine in modern times

Can we get some sound tests of these cases? I'm sure they'd sound absolutely *thunderous*.

I'm pretty sure the reason he gave for not making an F107 is that they were the most common 4704 board. That is no longer the case. :lol:

I risk mine becoming a fraction of its current value encouraging reproductions, but everyone should be able to enjoy gigantic zinc monstrosities.

These look awesome, by the way. I'm particularly fond of the Z-150 and DC-2014 boards and my Z-150 is in pretty sad shape.
