I imagine this is how Luke felt on Degobah when he realized he was in the presence of a master.

Makes sense. Dumbledore would use a beam spring. Gandalf however would only use a pen and parchment.

F*** this is cool... What are those original Xerox boards worth these days?

Thanks man! I’m actually not sure. Several hundred I’m sure.

So, what's the hold up I hear you ask? Well twofold: First, I was sick of working on a crappy plastic table so I took some time to build a proper work bench.

Such a beaut

Two generations!

That is such a sick set up.

Love it. Been hoping to get one of these for a while now.

I wonder if models C through E were botched attempts at cheaper variants til they landed on the buckling spring. Maybe foam an foil? poor performing leaf spring? Who knows what else. Perhaps the switches from the PC Jr were derived from one of these failed attempts. Behold this thing patented a yea...

Someone in SC needs to
Pick this up asap

So slightly off topic, were the computers that came with the industrial Ms grey as well? Anyone got pics? Edit: May have just answered my own question. Looks like these were rack mount PCs. What a beast. What a beautiful, beautiful beast. A45E3C6E-3652-4FD5-8CFB-F2E000D25D64.jpeg Welp, now I obvious...

Unicomp case, so not worth more than 60 IMHO...

Ah - didn't see the swapped case part.
At least the seller bothered to transfer the label to the new case; but agree that definitely not worth $300.

Got all my ingredients.
Who’s ready to be extorted?

Nice! I agree. I bought one of those last year. Mine’s got clickified black alps as the tactility wasn’t so hot with the stock switches. Feels great now. One of my favorite parts is the subtle beeper. It’s a nice unobtrusive thock. C9A97B97-641B-41E2-A2CE-41CC68B3A5E6.jpeg Very nice :) How is the X...

Good price considering the BKE domes and mods. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Topre-Realforce-87U-55g-Lubed-Silenced-BKE-Light-Domes-Sound-Proofed-Case/124279815356?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D5340353d734f489199d9dbc9c357dc66%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26...

Posted for 300 now. Still seems steep.

I'm a n00b, so I'll ask it because y'all brought it up: is there any mechanical difference between the industrial Model M(s) and a bog-standard one? ....I'm excited to have a 'crappier quality' industrial m from unicomp.... Those are original IBM old stock items ... Hence the quotation marks 😁

It's finicky but you could try this:

They're pretty easy to find for relatively cheap. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think you can solder...

Hey Chyros, guess what i bought an Alps Keyboard only because your Videos introduced me to the wonderful world of good switches.
