Looking at the PCB pics, I would say: Cherry MX.
If so, rather unusual keycap shape:

These do look like Rafis, or rather: like Siemens STB. Siemens made great mechanical boards in the 1970s and 80s, but then they turned to making "professional quality" rubber-dome keyboards like this one. It should be from the early 1990s, where they still mimic their mechanical STB keycaps, before they introduced their idiosyncratic rubber-dome keycaps in 1993.

put RARE in anything and its value rises by 1000$

XMIT · 05 Oct 2015, 20:06

For that price it had better be a Model F in disguise with serial number 001. Pfft.

guk · 05 Oct 2015, 20:32

It's quite likely endued with Mandolin crystals, though.

Sadly, they still don't offer buckling spring caps, let alone sphericals. ಠ_ಠ

BlueBär · 07 Oct 2015, 03:40

They actually do offer spherical keycaps and of course they don't offer buckling spring keycaps. I'm not sure why you would expect that to happen.

Crazy Canadian XXIV · 07 Oct 2015, 04:56

I mean spherical buckling spring keycaps. And I can dream dammit!

alienman82 · 07 Oct 2015, 05:38

removed.

Crazy Canadian XXIV · 07 Oct 2015, 05:40

I have to wonder what that guy's thinking lol. Not even an NIB industrial Model M would go for that much.

The seller does not accept Paypal transfer, so be cautious.

He is also offering pick-up in Berlin, for those who are very cautious.

I wouldn't be too worried, however, many sellers hate Paypal because it gives buyers the option of refunding as they wish, even if they did receive the article, they can get a refund if there is no proof that the goods were delivered.

That's a new word I didn't knew

"Oberlehrermodus" is pretty much wiseacre on a professorial level. A large part of the german population acts that way. Now that you`re in Germany you might notice that DanielT.

Also ein Schlaumeier

To be honest I didn't sense that so far, at my work place people are funny

Muirium · 07 Oct 2015, 15:50

For the Cherry ignorant, like me, is that board thick or thin PBT?

Not much use for me in any case. No winkeyless bottom rows on anything but my IBMs.

hypkx · 07 Oct 2015, 15:52

Thick PBT.

It's thick PBT, as far as I know only the laser printed caps are thin PBT. Again for me Cherry PBT are worth nothing being that "Classic Beige" that I don't really fancy. Only exception is SSK
