Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread
Does anyone have a clue as to what keyboard this is or what switches it has? I searched through the entire list of keyboards on the DT wiki but couldn't find anything that looks like it. No branding is present other than a slot-in function key legend for WordPerfect, and any other angle or close-up ...

Re: Reattaching space bar on 1983 IBM 4584656!!
I cleaned it up but don't see how to reattach the spacebar properly so that the metal stabilizer goes back into the little clips on the spacebar. Do I need to take off the metal plate and expose all the paddle switches in order to do it?
Generally, yes, one should take apart the keyboard to hook ...

Re: Proxy for foam from McMaster-Carr?
The sound and feel of a model f can be influenced by how the spring is "turned" on the rocker - if you take a flipper with its spring attached, you will see there is a bit where the spring ends at the bottom. If you push down and turn counter-clockwise, you can change where that bit ends. I've done ...

Re: Why do you need foam on your model f?
I can't think of another reason why the boards feel like shit after putting them together. I'm going to assume the hammering apart and hammering back into place is what's possibly bending the metal and intorducing an inconsistent feel to the board. It's driving me nuts. It wasn't as bad on the ...
