The PC-98 seems to have the same connector, seem to remeber that Hasu has a converter for the PC-98, Might be worth dropping him a email.

Maybe drop Wodan a PM. I think he might have some ISO Cherry sets from older Cherry boards he has broken down for the switches. He is in Germany so the postage won't be crazy.

So the whole premise here is, if someone has an item with a market value of 100, you want that information hidden, so you can buy it for 30 and then make 70 euro profit on the seller? Sounds legit. :? This isn't even close to making an argument for your inferred point of view. If wildly mischaracte...

This Nixdorf seems strange, no photo showing all the boards & a disclaimer that says the condition could be any type of junk. Maybe wait for Wodan to find one in one of his yellow waistcoat videos?

That was my thinking re: Salt. Looks like it but can't be it due to the case condition. All speculation till you get your hands on it anyway. I guess the best starting point is take it slow. Plastic could be fragile as well dependant on the enviromental effects on it.
