Important note: the foam comes from the foam factory in sheets of a pre-made size. To minimize the waste of foam, the factory sometimes glues together the foam, so please assume that your foam may be glued together in two pieces. The pictured foam is an example, but you will not get the exact one in the photos. In no way does this affect operation or longevity of the foam as the barrels actually secure the foam in place. The tooling for this foam was custom made and I am the only seller of Model F factory cut foam. Unfortunately you cannot request a foam with or without glue so please assume it will be glued. You only get the foam: the pictured box is NOT included.
You can use this foam for many of the original Model F keyboards, but not all of them. Will NOT work on XT style keyboards.
XT style foam is currently being produced and is now available for order-it is in stock now - check out my other listing for details.
To use with your F107, just cut off the top section containing 24 key holes.
To use with the Unsaver F104, cut off the last section of 20 key holes.
You can use my new foam for your AT as well. The AT layout is essentially that of the F107 but with the 15 key F107 section (insert/delete, cursor keys etc) cut out. To get PC AT foam, order this item and cut out the 15 key right side section and 10 key Function keys section yourself. I tested this with the PC AT refurb I did and it worked well. You'd just need to do a little snipping around the space bar area.
To use with a Kishsaver F62 or F77, you can request my pre-cut F6/F77 foam instead of the foam in this listing - go ahead and message me. You may need to cut some of the slots for the tabs, which are in different locations for the original F62/F77 compared to the reproductions. No cutting needed for the reproduction F62/F77 keyboards.
Additional note: this item from the Brand New Model F Keyboards project is sold at a significant premium on in order to cover the additional fees. All types of foam are currently in stock. When you buy on you are paying a premium for faster shipping within 1-2 business days (will ship by USPS First Class mail with a tracking number).
Check out my other listings for various Model F parts that work with the originals, with IBM's beam spring keyboards, as well as the reproduction Model F keyboards.
***Proceeds from this listing will help cover the significant project cost overruns (more details on the project web site blog). Over 1900 Brand New Model F Keyboards have shipped so far. Thank you to everyone who has supported the project! There is still time to customize your Brand New Model F Industrial F77 or F62 Kishsaver.
