Nice board, looks like you have done a good job on the internals but i would give them caps and case a once over. Looks a big grubby to me and them caps should clean up super nice !

Leading Edge all the way ! ( sound)

99% of them are set as the default yes

Any chance we can get high res scans of the manual.

Mainly just the keyboard section, but if you want to do the whole thing i am sure there are computer history websites/groups that would kill for the documentation.

May I add I’m quite pissed off? I had given up any hope of being heard in that matter when after almost three days, I was at least told it simply doesn’t matter. But when Mu agreed with me, it took just twenty minutes until… Oh, well, I’m certainly being unfair. But it sucks. At least Mu saved my d...

The way the inside looks screams mid to late 60s to me.

Oh and if you like old wire looms check out this video of a 1967 multi meter.

WOW . just WOW.

Just look at that wiring loom man. All cut to length and neatly loomed together, spacing on the ties all the same.... you just dont get things made like that anymore. Someone took care and pride in there work.

tbh as a moderator, I don't really care what the reason for the report is. As long as it's flagged, it's enough for me to take a look at the post.

Same .

I dont even fill in the ban reason for spam anymore i just leave it blank.

That looks nice , needs a good clean up and the caps need a retrobrite !

I would love to have moderator privileges. I would totally not abuse it ...

You dont know how tempting it is to randomly edit Mu's posts and put English flags all over them

We’ve got everything we need here to be Europe’s 28th nation. Aye , you have all our money ! :mrgreen: I honestly don't understand the idea of leaving the UK to join Europe.

Unicomp still lists a JIS keyboard with, indeed, a non-stepped 1.75U right Shift key

I did not know that.

So when i asked them for a blank none stepped caps lock key they said they did not do them.

Oh unicomp , you madlads !

At that price i would just get an apple one , they are cheaper! I am pretty sure you can use them on windows via bluetooth.

I remember someone using a JIS right shift in lieu of the stepped Caps Lock but can't find a source link...

You can do this .

Assuming you can get a JIS right shift.

Did we turn off new user authorisation ?

The switch looks cool but just keep in mind that a kickstarter is not a pre-order its a donation / pledge with a "reward".

Now input club has been around for years and chances are it will be fine, but its something to keep in mind.

20 inch sony BVM/PVMs with RGB card!

(CRT ofc)

SGI and sun microsystem stuff.

Cool old mouse pads etc

Ebay must be showing you one of those "We found something similar" links.

that must be it

Nice keypad. But major human slime under it!

Not sure if counts as great in the current state, but: https://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-MODEL-F-AT-Keyboard-Buckling-Spring-Vintage-1503092/123829458306?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D460d543129dc4369bd28e44ea8827ba4%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%...

Why throws that kind of thing away. There are some low profile switches there that cannot be more than a few years old as they only came out recently.

Honestly , some people have too much money, they should give it to me so i can spend it on crisps and beer.

Nice.

Take a peak inside , you may see a happy surprise.

Some M50s ( if not all ) have a half F half M design . An F style top and bottom plate with M internals. Or what i like to call a "Proto M"

I checked my controller boards and the connectors and I believe the only thing that can cause this is corrosion. There is no screw etc. As you have said ... there is no corrosion anywhere else on the board, it is very odd. I wouldn't use the original connector, as it is super hard to solder to the ...

hmm i guess you could even remove any circuitry in the pedals then hook them to a pro micro then they could just be programmed like any other key switch That is a good idea. They all look to be just re brands of the same thing . I found the same thing with another name for about 6 GBP so orderd two...

Hi All. I have been looking into possibly trying out a foot switch for holding down mod keys ( shift control etc ) as when playing long sessions on some games and needing to hold down mods and press buttons for actions (shift 1 2 3 4 5 6, control 1 2 3 4 5 6) and so on. And it can start to be uncomf...

Try spraying a bit of contact cleaner in there , it could be corroded .

That is just amazing. What are there like less than 10 of them ? And you just found it lying around.

Honestly you should give up now as unless you find a space cadet in the street you aint' topping that !

Do we have to pay extra for the tooling marks on the case and the misaligned lettering on the keycaps ?

moreover, the tooling is ancient and difficult to work with, apparently

Sell it to unicomp , they are used to working with shit broken down tools

Drink tea , its better !
