My wait is over!!!...
Finally I got my hands on a Dolch keyboard and to make it even better it have similar layout to my Portuguese native language. Let me thank @derzemel, who re-sold me the board and made this possible.
I can't test the keyboard right now, since I'm waiting for a RJ10->PS/2 adapter from @DanielT, who sent me today this "gift" entirely free of charge! Many thanks in advance to him also!
Furthermore, I'm planning to get a Cherry black coiled ps/2 cable to solder in the future, if I want to. (if anyone has one, please let me know)
The keyboard arrived in an awful condition, dry/parched plastic, lots of dirt and a bit of shine on some caps (spacebar, enter, arrows mainly)... looks like the italian guy had it stored on a pigsty warehouse lol
After cleaning the case, re-conditioning plastics and washing the caps, the results were stunning... Without further ado, here's the photos

Uhuuu... glad you got it
I was really worried that the thing would be a disaster under all of the dirt, especially as I did not see it in person, but, it actually looks good
Enjoy it man!
How did you recondition the plastic? did you use any kind of special solution/substances, or just a good wash??

After a good wash, I've applied a car product for renewing plastics Not sure of what it contains as it's a mixture... if you can buy, the best thing (non-aggressive) to apply in this situations it's simple Silicone Gel!derzemel wrote: ↑...How did you recondition the plastic? did you use any kind of special solution/substances, or just a good wash??

Wow, the board looks really nice, and it's a rare layout Nice catch The Dolch is my favorite vintage board, better than the SSK (at least for me).

they have the "good stuff" (gmk) for ages, I bought my arrows last Aug/2014 ...but it's really a shame they don't have ISO caps or more colors.
