http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/21/3efb9d7bf598d2e76db1c15c2222257a.jpg I've found this in my local listings. Could it be mechanical? Do you recognize it? Looks like a keyboard made by Focus Electronics. I'm not sure about the model, but there's a start for you What makes you say that? Certain...

Bump, prices lowered, Wyse sold.

Been a while since I've updated this thread, mostly because I've been busy with school and all the free time I have, I get rained out so I can't work on it (I work on my back patio lol). Anyway, I finished cutting, sanding, and glueing the pieces together sometime in the last two weeks, and it looks...

Oooh. I think I'm going to need to know where that "Keyboard Reset" pin is, so thanks very much for the diagram! The diagram only applies if you use the modified Soarers firmware with the reset pin moved to an IO pin accessible on a Pro Micro, not just a Teensy. It'll be a different pin on the cont...

Figured I should add a small update for anyone who needs this in the future. I helped OP in DMs on Discord and we figured out the pinout. It is as follows (going of the pin labels on the PCB) 1. Data 2. Clock 3. Reset 4. Ground 5. VCC Reset was easy to figure out since, as I suspected, it goes to th...

My gut says pad printed

That was my suspicion too

Agreed, highly doubt it's doubleshot, would be cool if they were...

Anyone know if the caps are doubleshot? I'll probably grab one if someone can confirm they are.

Bump, prices lowered

Pin 5 is VCC, pin 4 is ground, you can guess on the other three until it works.

This is the XT/black badge, right?

Oh, and pictures now added because I'm stupid and forgot to do it in my first edit.

Prices lowered, Apple and Wang removed from listing, NEC added.

Great job. Hopefully this goes as well as your XT restoration did.

I recently got a Smith Corona typewriter at a thrift store for $20 and figured I'd take it home, partly for the memes and partly because...well, the switches were hilariously smooth. So I brought it home, removed the keyboard module, cleaned it up, and was quite happy with it. Without the rubber dom...

Forgot to mark it but Wang sold, sorry Nasanieru.

Bump, Apple gone.

Couldn't wait til weekend. Got the first cuts done. Now working on sanding and aligning stuff.

So pro restoration. Looks very nice.

Video editing keyboard but it only has 60 keys lmao, I'd much rather have one of these bad boys:

Hi guys. Been a while since I updated this thread, but I have an opportunity to try again, so I might as well post more stuff here. DT user ntv242 has asked me to proxy him another Sharp but he only wants the switches and keycaps. His typewriter was in slightly better shape than mine was, but anyway...

Isn't this XT with a reset line?

XT? To convert XT to AT or PS/2, do I need a Soarer's converter?

Yes, I suggest building one with a Pro Micro. Will be about five bucks compared to 30-50 for a prebuilt Soarers.

And I might be wrong about protocol, take what I said with a grain of salt.

Any ideas? Bought in on impulse, worried it is f&f, already opened refund even though it was only $15 (albeit with $30 shipping and $10 import). They are topre-like domes. https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?t=22683 According to HerbalNekoTea on the Discord, this has SMKs, so I went ahead and got...

Oh man, that Navy Wyse! Pity you're in Canadia. Out of curiosity, how much would be shipping to Europe?

Too much and not worth it

The estimate to ship an XT to Luxembourg was 86 CAD before taxes, and that was the slowest method...

Very cool. 10/10 would buy.

That wang looks to be in great shape! $150 for a great chassis and PBT dyesubs is a great price as well. GLWS! It is in great shape heh. I wasn't quite sure what a fair price was. I just hope that for all of these boards (except the Brother) it gets used as a whole board and not gutted or harvested...

All prices are in CAD and do not include shipping. All prices are negotiable. Please make me trade offers! Don't have anything specific I want right now, might as well ask if I'm interested :) I will prioritise Canadian traders, then Canadian buyers, then US traders, and lastly US buyers. I'd rathe...

What controller is that, and why not just run QMK on it? I don't really see the point of this lol. It's a cheap PCB with a basic controller, proprietary firmware and not even a USB connector. 20 euros for something that costs about five to make seems a little steep...
