Separating the case of the IBM Model F/AT

There is always a common opinion that separating the case of the Model F/AT Keyboard is never an easy, and always feels like something is going to break! So I did a small video of me splitting the case which hopefully you will find useful. There are a few other videos on Youtube where the F/AT is being dismantled but either they glance over this part, or make it look like it’s an absolute struggle.

I think, if honest, the bit which people probably feel is most difficult is the clips at the front of the keyboard, as they need the cases to be at around 35° angle before you can wiggle the clips free with some slight persuasion. Maybe I’m lucky though and have one which is really easy to take apart? Who knows!

Sorry for the background wind noise too, it was quite a hot day so I had the window open!
