With this finding, I think to have seen all.

Thanks for wishing me good luck. To be honest I'd have said thanks even if you sent me somewhere off, if it's useful to keep this post top on the spy page. Ahahah....

*Sigh.* These switches are currently my "white whale."

Hi body, thanks for the appreciation. I myself consider them quite underrated. Their clickeness wouldn't be as smooth as blue Alps' but wtf, they're first class as well imho.

How did you ultrasonicly clean it? Did you desolder the switches or just take the top housing, slider and plate off? Did it dramatically improve the key feel? Curious for my own plate spring. Nothing of all that, of course. I am referring to the sole keycaps. My both P70s don't seem to need such a ...

Hi, I am selling an IBM P70 ISO ITA layout in pristine conditions*. Keycaps (edit) have been ultrasonicly cleaned, sanitized and all. It comes with its genuine, but cut, cable that can be easily soldered to a standard PS/2 or USB plug as widely described and documented on this board. It has been tes...

Also I have posted the November update on the project web site blog - for a summary of all the updates and forum postings please head over there. https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/blog/ I went there first today and almost had a heart attack because I misread the update title as "second container ship...

@hellothere, I agree, even though the graphic chart already shows the current objective prices trend. The point is how much is it worth for you who want it now. Another retro calculation could be that of observing what hasn't been bought on eBay looking at closed auctions with no bets. For instance,...

Thanks. I actually paid about $80 for these back in 2018. Given the low evaluation I would opt to hang on to them for a bit longer. Out of curiosity, did you pick up three of them or rather you haven't tried them yet? I wouldn't resist the temptation to click clack on them. :mrgreen: P.m. I find th...

Price check for NIB factory sealed IBM Pingmasters (Japanese sub legends). I remember a couple of years ago, your neighbour Mendlesons sold them on ebay for less than 40$. Unfortunately, shipping prices were as much as the double of the keyboard value to EU without mentioning custom fees. I'd willi...

Thank you for the right tip if I only were able to use the soldering tool
..... I know what you are thinking.... Wtf so are you doing on this board, if you aren't even good at using it

The one I had was in perfect physical condition, didn't look yellowed at all, It also did end up in the EU so this could be it Hi Jesseg, I got the chicony that doesn't present any yellowing, even though it isn't flawless. I discovered with my great disappoinment that the "end" key doesn't properly...

It was just a reference. Anyway as you see the range is wide.

According to current DT quotation: $69–300 (Depending on version, year of production etc)
$217 (1992)[2] and considering the following diagram: Are you willing to shell out 250$? What do you think is the fair price?

RPI-400-BACK-2-WHITE.jpg EDIT. Pcs built into keyboard seems to be a rising fashion trend lately, judging what engineers are doing at raspberry. PI400 goes on that direction without convincing to much with that inconsistent keyboard. That keyboard is a shame. I was wondering what mechanic keyboard ...

Wow, there are all the ingredients to start a new editorial post on DT. Who has seen it?
As soon as I put my hands on it, I'll take a pic of the serial number. It might be your old keeb. Do you want to buy it back?

I've just bought this Screenshot_20201103_202313.jpgScreenshot_20201103_202322.jpg Chicony KB-5161 Blue Alps Keyboard. It's my first blue alps sweetie, so i'am happy because I don't know what's going to happen with it, just to say so :D I'am looking forward to receiving it asap so that I can make p...

I would like to publicly thank darkcruix, not only for the magnificent work on the model F manual project, which he is carrying on tirelessly , but for his kind courtesy to send me the new pandrew model F controller free of charge, without even asking to cover the shipping costs, with the addition o...

No , these come from a demolition center, I had to rebuild everything, they were just a pile of rust, I'll publish a video about the restoration but I'm non quite at the finish line yet. :) Luca THESE!!!! WOW, let me know if there could be any chance to acquire one for me, I might be of some help, ...

Hi, awsome work! I'm in the process of restoring an IBM 3276 keyboard ( https://deskthority.net/wiki/File:3276.jpg ) and I wish to convert it to usb; as far as I understand Your design is compatible with these keyboards, can You confirm it ? Thanks Luca Hi Luca, did you get on Italy eBay auction, j...

Yeah! Just pick One of these up from the Sample book. (cfr. webwit cc photo).

It's a brilliant solution, but I was wondering if there would be enough room to host a raspberry pi4B, because the solution proposed by the post author, fascinating for sure, but not very believable. The Intel stick seems to be unusable with very poor performances, according to what you read on Amaz...

Great review that made me jump back to early 90s when 80 columns was the best you could get from a video card on the right piece of software.... My best wishes for 100K subs to Chyros!!!

Yeah, as owner of an IBM p70, I can confirm the uniqueness of those keyswitches that Chyros compared to the same feeling you can get clicking on a jar lid. I find it quite addicting, when you start using it you can't stop anymore... Noise and quaint definitely. Good find mate! Where did you do it? O...

Great neat job.

Very interesting marketing experiment. Customers want to recognize themselves into a logo despite their product could be considered as a unique specimen, as it maybe was in the intention of its creator, originally. No logo branding doesn't exist with all due respect to Naomi Klein theory.

One of the rarer beamsprings: https://www.ebay.com/itm/ibm-beam-spring/402459322295 It surely comes from a collector as one can easily see from the listing third picture. But what a shame it's non converted. Never plugged into any PCs. I see that's not so easy using a beamspring as daily driver for...

That eBay auction went out of my comprehension. How is it technically possible to jump from 550 to 2000?!? The previous bidder set 2000 as his Max bid? and it took just few seconds to overcome it?!? Without mention the winning bid (back in time of 16secs). Would someone wiser than me explain that, t...

Wow, I love Atari enthus...I can't help you on such inquires but your post made me dream ...
Still in time, though
