Re: Has anyone Retrobrited an AEK or AEK II
Another option I was considering was just painting it after a good run through the dishwasher. Does anyone know the right shade of paint to use? I assume I need to clear coat it afterwards also. I assume paint would be a more permanent solution to the problem without making the plastic any more bri...

Re: Alps wax mod - procedure & evaluation!
I kinda like ping, myself. the alps ping isnt for everyone, its like finely aged barrel whiskey. some people prefer wine, others dont drink at all. i lubed an AEKII with white switches using PTFE in 2016 once, didnt like the way it almost distorted the feel and sound of the switch. ever since ive a...

Re: Packard Bell T9102 - SKCM Blue Alps at it's Finest
I found another one! A Packard-Bell with SKCM blue Alps switches. This time, the sticker on the metal back reads "T9103". This one has doubleshot ABS keycaps. The one with "T8105" has pad-printed caps. Thus, it indeed appears that the numbers on the little stickers affixed to the back panel are ser...

Re: [WTB] Apple IIc Control+Return keycaps
I believe I have an incomplete set of apple IIc plus keycaps I could rip the keys youre looking for from. I'm not sure what color they are, the IIc plus came with orange alps so im guessing theyre the same color, will have to check.

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread
can anyone identify what kind of keycaps these are? or confirm my suspicions? my guess is laser etched?
and also, are these alps SKBM white switches? they look kinda yellow.
keyboard is SMK-8851

holy crap just saw that the pingmaster sold for $200.. i had no idea they skyrocketed in value. are they no longer available on ebay? incredible, i regret not purchasing more when i had the chance.
