Instead of petty infighting you could set it up somewhere that has a reasonable nonprofit legal framework.

Re: [EU-PL] Cherry G80-0528 Nixdorf

HG is the recent series, restored with new switches. Which is reasonable considering the value of those in a nice custom.

This looks amazing! I would not have guessed these were printed. The legends looks crisp!

Re: F62+F77 orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards

Guess it's my favourite F board, given that it's a usable layout and all. Very nice to finally use it after all those years. The fact that it's flashed with a totally usable hhkb layout which I ordered is a really nice touch, didn't do anything but slap the caps on and type away. Love the keyfeel bu...

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

It's D code and doesn't seem very used, so yeah, the 120 to 150 region seems realistic these days. That's for good condition on doubleshot caps and switches.
Stretching it though, at 150 I might expect something fancier than D already.

Re: Computer Reset Conundrum

Not the first story of shady warehouse raids I've heard. You really should wonder why nobody wants to deal with you twice.

Also keep in mind that stealing is criminal, doesn't matter if the people trust you and there are piles of boards. Only makes it worse if anything.

It's difficult to define a clear cut-off age, since it seems some batches were assembled into boards at different times, but it seems 90+-3 is your best bet.

I think you could pry it apart from the top a bit without breaking the rivets. You should be able to get a look at the state of the contact, maybe there is even a way to clean it a little.
Not quite sure though. It's been a while since I sorted/cleand those.

You cannot reach the contact point without breaking apart the rivets on the switch plate assembly. In the upper half of the picture you can see an opened one with the corroded dent in the middle. That's the actual contact point between the plate and the "leaf", held apart by a plastic spacer. IMG_20...

I have some shelf space dedicated to my 60 cases and plenty cardboard boxes stuffed away with everything larger than that. Also original boxes where applicable.

One thing I thought about is getting a display case for some keyboards. Closed cases with UV blocking glass should exist, right?

If you had ever seen switches from the 2000 to 2010 period compared to ~90 ones you wouldn't make fun of it like that.

Btw I really wonder when the BOX mount got out of spec or if it has always been this way. The keyset death toll must be... enormous.
