Wang 725 (Orange Omrons)
http://i.imgur.com/JvA5aTR.jpg http://i.imgur.com/W6P2gkA.jpg http://i.imgur.com/KBvsudO.jpg I won this board on ebay from one of my favorite sellers (he always has hard to find boards). Key feel is unique. Analogous to monterey blues, albeit a tad slower feeling. It has a deep click, but it's stil...

Nice - well...gross...but nice work on getting some blue Alps :) You should de-solder them for the Hyper Mini/Micro project - eventually they will do an Alps version. I suppose the caps are double-shot? Despite the yellowing on some and slight shininess, they actually look pretty good. Yes, they ar...

http://i46.tinypic.com/qn30b5.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/n1xo4z.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/33x7uz9.jpg I got this board yesterday. The case and keys are in atrocious condition. They will need some serious retrobrite sessions. All that board chow blew out of the keyboard easy enough. The switches ar...

Excellent review! I'm very glad you waited until you re-acquired your SGI board. The fact that the dampened Matias switches are lighter than the complicated dampened white alps in the SGI is intriguing. I loathe complicated clicky white alps because they are too heavy for my tastes, but we all know ...

My review is below. I'm adding a linear yellow complicated alps switch to the bag since there aren't any yellow or green alps in the sampler bag. Please keep the linear yellow alps switch moving with the bag. I will put another item in the "suprise" pouch that the next person who receives the bag ca...

um, can you please post the pics of the peroxide 'creme' you used? I gather it'd be more practical than submerging the whole case as I did, so if possible, I'd like to duplicate the procedure. Sure, here's a link to the creme I used. You have used the cream also for keycaps? You have painted them o...

nice results AKIMbO, have you ever have mottled result from retrobrite? I gather that you completlely submerged the whole caps and casing as opposed to reapply the peroxide every ten minutes...? I got mottled plastics from 40% peroxide after only a day recently (granted, it's tropical sunshine and ...

Dell AT101 (salmon alps) & SGI Granite
Picked up a second SGI granite board (dampened white alps) and a rare-ish old logo Dell AT101 (salmon alps). Rip-o-metered the salmon alps board and I'm getting 65-70g on the board, the exception being the arrow key cluster (which registers uniformly at 75g). http://i50.tinypic.com/2lsus21.jpg http:...

I'm really interested in a further in depth comparison between the new Matias quiet pro switches and the SGI dampened cream alps. I already have an SGI with dampened cream alps and am planning on replacing all the switches in an old Zenith ZKB2-AT board with either the new Matias tactile or the new ...

I never noticed until now, but is the key above the enter in ANSI layout always the same colour as the alpha section? For some reason, I always though it was modifier coloured on all keyboards whenever there are two colours. Yup...it's always alpha colored. Here's my latest IBM acquisition. http://...

I thought i did pretty good buying a beat up XT for $12.50 last week, but one in fairly good condition sold this morning for $9.50 (+$12 for shipping) on eBay. The qualities of a switch -the pressure, tactility, post actuation, and release - some of these might be quantifiable, but one's preference...

Re: Doubleshot Replacements Round 4 / taking orders!
FYI, the end actually is in sight. I just made a wire transfer of over $10K USD to Signature Plastics yesterday.
