Re: Need help with replacing cable in IMC XT/AT Keyboard

The 5th wire you ask about is probably reset, which was used with the XT protocol. That or a second ground wire (usually tied to the shield of the din connector)

Re: I guess we need a thread to show how dirty a keyboard could be.

Ugh, that is truly disgusting. I have had boards come to me filled with hair, nail clippings and old food, but never quite to that degree. I really hope it's not too far gone to save. model Fs can really take a beating and keep working though, so I assume you would have no trouble getting it working...

Re: Beamspring from Hell Restoration Log

This is seriously something else. If I were you I would leave it as bare metal, and clearcoat over it. The look of the pitted metal is very cool. Massive props for saving this, it's definitely one of the worst condition keyboards i've ever seen.

Re: G81 MX3000 ??? Platemount MX on a g81?? How?!

This is 100% not plate mounted. Those are PCB mount stabilizers, and can clearly be seen fully. The tops of the clips are typically obscured by the plate if there indeed is one.

I love the idea of saving these keyboards, but realistically they are completely trashed. In that condition they are just scrap metal.

cherry debate aside, isn't that board foam and foil? It does sound good, and it might even feel good (can foam and foil do that?), but it surely can't be a reliable switch. I had one that felt absolutely awful, but im sure that was because the foam had disintegrated. It was NIB, but probably not st...

I mean doesn't matias already sortof fill this hole? even their stuff is very underwhelming. Simplified alps clones can't possibly be in high demand.
