I have two or three with switches just in case the Redmaus deal disappears, but is does sound like the perfect match.

Sorry, I wrote 'Wang' terminal boards in the above post when of course I meant 'Wyse'... Not sure what kind of wang was going through my mind...

Hey. I have 200+ vintage MX blacks desoldered from two Wyse terminal keyboards. Let me know if you're interested.

You can find the acrylic lid type covers on Amazon, too.

He gets my vote for most artistic arrangement of the goods in a multi-keyboard sale photo... I need to improve my style!

This button is connected to the long weird feet under the keyboard. On my keyboard one of the feet wiggles, when I press it. Either something is stuck or I don't press hard enough. I'll find out, when I have the time to open and clean it. An ingenious mechanism to lower the feet without turning ove...

Expect replies tonight, German time. Currently busy, sorry.

Please make offers. Pictures are named after keyboard models and pics of model stickers are included, usually as the first picture for each board. Please be aware that I haven't actually tested any of these boards yet, but will do so as soon as anyone informs me they won't just be harvesting from th...

Hehe. That means I could probably have asked more... Sorry, already sold to another DT member for 100 plus shipping.

Looking to sell a medium-condition SGI Granite for a fair but not-too-charitable amount. Prices on eBay seem to fluctuate rather heavily. A used one once went for over 200$, but I'm guessing just over 100 might be more realistic?

JSpacers sold.

See pic, you can have the lot just for the shipping costs. Not sure if anyone has any use for this stuff, though.

I have one in the basement. Let me know if you haven't settled with the previous PM'er.

I wonder what switches his cat would prefer, i.e. which would make the best bed springs for small carnivores? Surely, mechanical would be more pleasant than rubber domes! Image how she would curl up on that Maltron...

Delivered as promised! The lady who 'invented' it apparently won a prize. Anyway, looking forward immensely to that swearfest! Didn't think he'd get round to reviewing it so soon.

Easily some of the greatest switches around. Someone should get it before the seller responds to me with shipping options to Germany...

Could have whites just as well?

I don't think I've seen such a warty ALPS-mount (?) slider before. Doesn't look like much of a switch either - slider over something?

Beautiful ergodox killer, even has backlighting. What a treat!

Somebody please buy this and send it to Chyros

The die is cast! Chyros has it...

Samsung rubber dome. No way it's Fujitsu.

Fokus FK-8000 without the calculator, but wow, what a beautiful colour scheme. I suspect ALPS clones at best as it's a later model and doesn't have LED windows (which might have pointed to at least some SKCL switches).

It is quite rare in black, maybe one in twenty or less. I have one, too, and plan to swap the case with the yellowed beige case of one with nicer switches.

Feel free to update that wiki!

Siemens board with Siemens switches. The switches can be found in the wiki but not many of this family of keyboards are documented.

I've been on a bit of a wild goose chase for the past few weeks trying to identify a much beloved keyboard of mine that I miss dearly. I'm hoping that someone here might be able to help point me in the right direction. EDIT: I forgot to mention, but the label that can be seen on the keyboard says "...

Turns out it's an early Rafi board. It's on Kleinanzeigen if anyone wants it.

What do we think? Keycap shape is like Siemens or Tandberg...

Here is some french auction that I cannot identify : 
It supposed to be a Nixdorf keyboard. All the pictures are from the same board.

It's a Fujitsu-made terminal keyboard, should have leaf springs, I reckon.
