Perty. Also, nice Model F! Have you posted your thoughts here on it at?

GLWS, Do I see a warped space bar on the F62 on the background or it's just a lens flare distortion?

I haven't ever posted any thoughts on here no. I traded for this board so I don't know it's full history etc.

I like it though ,it really is excellent. My caps are scratchy , but again, this is a relatively early unit so maybe better now?

The top and bottom cases are two different colours and textures, but I knew this.

The internal USB C connection is also unnaceptable.

Overall, I would recommend buying one on MM or here if you ever want one , as you know what you're in for then. It's almost there!

I threw some OG keycaps on it and it's much better now

Massive distortion! Spacebar is straight as an arrow

[Muirium]

Distortion yes. Lens flare, no.

Spoiler:

Leave that to JJ.

Just a super cut of JJ Abrams’s beloved lens flares in that Star Trek film of his. Nice movie, but I was wincing after the 18th or so in the theatre.

Anybody got an idea about the layout? Is it potentially mixed from a bunch of spares? It has
- Azerty-style numbers
- Å but no Æ, Ø, Ä or Ö
- All English text buttons except the one in the "scroll lock" position
- A lot of odd stuff in the punctuation "cluster"
The more you look the weirder it gets. Great looking specimen by the way!

I wish I knew more history on this board. These were the caps on it when I got it ,and this model number isn't too well documented.
Shark thinks it could be a 3197 keyboard, but there aren't photos of any with legends like this.

I suppose it probably is a combination of a strange terminal layout / some replaced keys along the way!

If anyone has any more information let me know!

Gives it a unique kind of charm. I'm amazed by the condition of the cable, it looks brand new.

Condition on this one is near perfect!
Few scuffs on the bottom and the label is ripped slightly, but aside from that!

I did nothing to restore the cable ,just cleaned it and that's how it came out! Amazing really

I'll have to share some photos of my other very early terminal from 01-86 ,that one really is in amazing condition.

[TomTrev]

And!

If anyone has an '85 Model M , let me know.

Absolutely require one for my collection.
Cash or Trade.

It's a mix of caps. Some are Swedish/Finnish, others are (Belgian?) AZERTY.

I'll dig out where this was bought from. Maybe was Sweden though.
