I prefer NLQ 10CPI as well as Utility 12CPI

This is a momentous occasion for sure. Let us hope that the test samples pass muster!

Awesome update! That's an exciting process to see take place.

Ellipse,

That's exciting news to ring in the new year with!

Logistically it makes not a huge difference for you, but maybe you want to ask around, who really "requires" the keys to be assembled. In my cases, I would be happy getting the key buttons in a "bag" and assemble them myself. Nothing easier than this. Maybe there is a larger group out there, who ...

No offense towards Snazzy but I'm with Techno Trousers.

Nobody said you had to limit your purchase to just one publication

Does anyone know if there's going to be any kind of leftovers sale? I need a winkeyless kit that I did not order with the original drop.

TIA

That's fantastic!

Awesome, happy to hear about all the progress!

Oh my god, SBS Space Cadet is my dream board setup! PLEASE!

Zed, those legends look amazing! I would be ecstatic if that's what ended up on the final production. Not %100 sold on the colorway, but of the two I do prefer the grey and black.

So bad-ASS! I know we're still a ways off but that is a good update right there Looking forward to the results!

Awesome news! Joined the updates list! Things are looking up...

Wow, that's minty. Amazing the packaging looks to be in such good condition too, I almost never see the boxes for these old XT's.

By the way where did you get the new badge - I want one! Was it from one of the prior GBs or from somewhere else?

Yes! I purchased a couple of leftovers from this GB that Wingpad ran a little while ago: https://deskthority.net/group-buys-f50/ibm-model-m-replacement-badges-taking-orders-t15061 ...

Hi everyone, I am almost done resto-modding a 1391401 Model M. One of the last steps is to glue on the new logo badge. I have both Goop and Super Glue (cyanoacrylate). the surfaces are both very smooth and perfectly clean. What would you use?

All in! Can't wait for this one, it's gorgeous.

Has anyone posted a thread about this to r/mk or GH?

I posted a request for input on GH but reddit is unfamiliar territory for me. Feel free to share.

rsbseb, that teaser pic looks fantastic!

I agree with Techno Trousers; The large, centered legends for the alphas similar to the old beam-spring boards is the way to go for SBS. I also agree that doubleshots are far superior. I have a couple of Model F's, a Model M, and am waiting for an F77. If I ...

Thanks for the update!

rsbseb: Just saw your post in the "F62+F77" thread. Jumping on this bandwagon because I love spherical keycaps and buckling springs. A combination of the two would make me the happiest man on earth.

Awesome. Congrats!

Awesome, I do like a good spring!

...This is screaming for the first iteration of MX caps on top of F-stems.

YES! I was just thinking about this last week. I just have no real manufacturing experience at all but it seems like it should be possible. I think injection molding might be the way to go as 3d printing would not be ...

Loving this, following to watch progress

I, too would be ok with this, even though I also know what the answer will be.

Sent you a PM, Wingpad.

I'm rather excited to see so much activity in this thread. I ordered an F77 a little over a month ago (pretty late compared to some, I know) and almost not a day goes by that I don't think about the glorious time of its arrival.

Awesome, thank you! That's just the info I was hoping to see.
