Great/Interesting Finds

Huh? That's not an AT! It's just a regular Model M.

I know, I just copied the sellers text. Another case of false info´s.

It's not, you can tell it by the 1.25 unit F-row keys.

I knew something was wrong there, thanks for clearing that up.

I´m not sure if this is the real thing.

Or the LED-window (Caps Lock).

For those seeking for a Realforce (and this might be old news for which I apologize in advance). I just got my first Realforce and might even write a review, if I decide to procrastinate badly enough.

Verkkokauppa.com are selling white variable weight 105UFW in Fin/Swe layout for just under 110€.

There are two left in the store and I am up for some proxy action if needed.

WOW, gallenos7 that´s a good price for a new Realforce! Nice find! If I did not allready have my 87u I might go for it!

I´d like to read your Realforce review!

gallenos7 · 24 Apr 2014, 09:08

Thanks for your kind words.

Okay. This is getting silly. Now the price is only 99.90€.

Candyflip · 24 Apr 2014, 09:49

Wow now that is cheap.. I love the video of the 360 realforce they put up

Muirium · 24 Apr 2014, 15:54

If it was a TKL, and somewhere cheaper to ship out of, I'd be kicking myself. Because I can't afford it anyway! But a great find for locals into full size Topre.

Yes, I have seen this one. Does it have capacitive buckling spring switches like the IBM XT keyboard?

Edit: I found some posts on GH and DT about this board. According to these, the board uses something like Keytronic foam and foil switches, not IBM capacitive BS switches.

urbancamo · 24 Apr 2014, 17:44

That question, my dear friend, is one for the Oracle I'm afraid...

Muirium · 24 Apr 2014, 17:46

There were non-IBM buckling springs (Alps did it) but I don't think any of them were early enough to be XT layout. Once IBM designed the AT, everyone changed PDQ.

jeff · 24 Apr 2014, 21:14

Is anyone interested in something that looks like an IBM AT model F ? There are a few in stock.

It's a poor quality picture but I could try to see them during the WE.

scottc · 24 Apr 2014, 21:17

2 euro! I'd almost certainly be interested and I know of at least one other person who would be too.

Ichigo87 · 24 Apr 2014, 21:18

I've already send them a message. Apparently it is for real... i should try to go to this place.

wheybags · 24 Apr 2014, 21:18

I'd take one if it's 2 euro :p
Anyone in France wanna proxy them?

photekq · 24 Apr 2014, 21:19

I would love to get one of those, especially at 2€!

Ichigo87 · 24 Apr 2014, 21:20

I am gonna ask them pictures and then i will try to go to their shop.

7bit · 24 Apr 2014, 21:22

I'm in for one as well.

jeff · 24 Apr 2014, 21:24

I already ask for pictures and planned to go there. The man told me he has 40 of them. If we are two for proxy it will be easier.

wheybags · 24 Apr 2014, 21:25

40 holy shit

Laser · 24 Apr 2014, 21:25

I'm in for one also !

BlueBär · 24 Apr 2014, 21:27

Absolutely want one!

Nuum · 24 Apr 2014, 21:27

Would be in for one, too! What an awesome find.

Ichigo87 · 24 Apr 2014, 21:30

you're too enthusiastic, model F are rare in France, it is really weird to sell them for this price.

Sayso · 24 Apr 2014, 21:33

Up for one too

photekq · 24 Apr 2014, 21:35

40!? Yes, yes, yes! I want one for sure!

jeff · 24 Apr 2014, 21:37

In order to stop the pollution this thread I opened the page http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/ ... t7883.html

I will check quality and qty as soon as possible.

Another?

edit - Same seller, I guess he's drip feeding them. Much higher starting price this time too...

Got it thanks to Bluebär!

This looks interesting:

(I'd get it if I was in the UK, but I think shipping to Canada would be monstrous.)

This is interesting too - Honeywell hall effect:
