Re: Converting a Reuters D3D Keyboard

So I’ve acquired a db25 to db9 connector and was trying to connect 5v and gnd from the PC side PS/2 cable. But no luck.. Did you ever get this board up and running, Jesseg? :) Nope, managed to find a whole bunch of KMD3 units which I was able to use with this and other dealing keyboards, although I...

These are super awesome boards. Does yours work through a converter?

Re: NMB RT101+ Key Issues

I recently bought an RT101+ on eBay for a good price, but the tab, 1, q, a, and z keys don't actuate reliably. Sometimes they don't sometimes they do (especially if I mash them), and sometimes they chatter. Does anyone know how to fix this? I know very little about circuit diagrams but if someone h...

Re: Smith Corona Leaf Springs aren't actually that bad

Yesterday I found this Smith Corona DX 3600 typewriter at a Goodwill, although unlike most of the ones that I find that come with Mitsumi KKR switches, this one had the infamously bad leaf spring switches.

Re: Cherry DCA Irmakey

if I'm not mistaken, he found this keyboard in the form of a chassis, from which another person harvested switches and keycaps, so in fact, he got a result much more authentic than what he originally found Fair enough: he just confirmed it. But the OP doesn't say who took out the originals, so our ...

Re: Cherry DCA Irmakey

I bought this without switches, and even if I didn’t I can, and will do as I please. I am a huge advocate for the preservation of old keyboards and I cringe when I see them painted and chopped.. but not sure if swapping switches counts as ‘destroying’ anything either.. + mx whites suck ass anyway IMO.

Re: Jesseg's massive vintage sale

Fantastic keyboards, hope they go to a good home, by the way when you mention your M122 with an F-122 case do you mean an M-122 with the F-122 style feet or just an M-122 with a literal model F-122 case on it? It is an early M122 with model F feet, but I replaced the case with an F122 case as I put...

Re: Looking for help converting a FLS Epson

If you're going to do a controller swap, use pin headers and IC sockets so it's reversible, really cool to see a full system, would be a shame if it never ran together again.
