Re: [FS] A bunch of stuff

Damn, I need to update this thread but I can't even get to the boards atm to figure out what I still have.
The Focus and the Amiga board I have definitely sold. Sorry.

Re: [FS] A bunch of stuff

No, but I think it was more of a "if you throw it away otherwise" for the buyer so maybe you want to ask them if they'd like to sell it. ...?

Re: Price Check: How much is my _____ worth?

Well, I am not going to destroy it just yet. I would prefer not to. But I can send you a picture of the closed switch still on the board. ;) https://i.imgur.com/mlVlCUm.jpg But isn't it weird that switches are apparently more expensive than entire keyboards? Harvesting them isn't particularly hard. :P

And would it be better to desolder the switches and sell them separately?

Maybe this question is kind of off topic but if you're redoing the plate and PCB why not add more keys to the bottom row? :)

Reminds me of an 87 key model F with an XT case I made a while back shown here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71408.0
That looks like damn nice keyboard. Does anybody know if one of those projects for making replacement PCBs for the capacitive IBMs actually worked out?

Re: The Franken XT - XT Case and Wheelwriter keyboard assembly

Yeah, the lack of some modifiers in the bottom row is really the only thing that is keeping the F AT and XT from being basically a fully functional TKL board.
