I guess today I was lucky. I was able to obtain two keyboards with SWE/FI layout, which as always are a bit tricky to find. I was originally going to pickup just Model M, but then this guy also had Model F 84 key version in his shelf, which I was able to buy too after small negotiations..

Here’s some pictures from them as I got them.



















Both in good / working condition. Have been unused for a long time. Got them from retired computer engineer, that kept them in his basement. Now I just need to figure out what I’ll do with these..

I have understood that this Model F version is a bit rare?

congratulations on those two really nice IBM classics! The Model F "AT" that you have there is certainly rarer than any model M, more so in SWE/FI layout! I´d say you were lucky. Both look really good.

Now I just need to figure out what I’ll do with these..

Just use them! Possibly clean them if you feel the need.

AT's are quite sought after. I wouldn't call them rare, but a Swedish one is getting there! They're a very usable board, like the Model M only better built with a better mechanism, and native NKRO.

Combo iso ascii type keycaps, nice find

I would love the F!
But I manage to get 2 Model M and 3 Model M2 Buckling two weeks ago for ~80€ .
If you are going to sell the F i'm interested!

EDIT: Swe layout all of them.

AT swe/Fin i had this like 4 months already. I just don't like to take pics cause i don't have any proper camera

You found that from Jämsä?

Nah bought this some time ago from pohjanmaa don't remember where. I just have found some old and dirty Ms here :/ with UK caps.

Excellent score. If I could ever find someone local with a reasonable M/AT F I would probably instabuy

You're in the US, should be easy!

Oh, wait, you're in Nebraska? I take that back!

Lol, I love living in nebraska but yeah. There isn't much in the way of old keyboards to find sadly.

Here in Finland this is how we usually find old keyboards.

WOW that way they are clean and bacteria free!

should still be easier than anywhere else outside the US.

Very nice find, nice to see you finally took them. I'd really like to get an IBM AT!
