How the heck did Keebmeup get that docutec board for $500?

He just got lucky on eBay before anyone else did. Unfortunately a lot of the people with the most time to spend checking eBay are flippers.

There were two recent xerox sales: first an auction of a 6085 board, where the seller didn’t disclose the switch despite knowing it was browns. That was sold by known scammer Rajkeymari, and went for well under $1000, so I figured OP was referring to that one. The second was a Docutech with neon gre...

Unfortunately there is a next to zero chance you will find loose neons. They just don't sell. Very rarely a board with them comes up for a crazy high price, but most people would agree that harvesting the switches from a Docutech is wrong. The sources of NOS ones from years ago are long gone, and it...

Don’t know the price per switch but this might have sold for $2000: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305013365283 Ugh man, I know the docutec boards go for big bucks. I think the pine greens are a little more desirable and rare. I actually missed one a few months ago that sold on eBay for a good bit under ...

Hi, I'm looking to buy one or more of those NOS linear space invaders modules, this thing. I know WTB posts don't tend to have much success but there were quite a few of these on eBay a few years ago, I figured it's worth a shot. Located in the US but will gladly pay international shipping if needed...

Pm’d about the sharp

Hi everyone, I have 2 NeXT keyboards for sale. Located in Oregon, USA. I'm selling these two because I found another with slightly less keycap shine. Timestamp and photos: https://imgur.com/a/2CMmZJe The first is an AAE model with SKCM Cream. The board is in great overall condition. I waxed and pape...

the thickest wang!

how does it feel with the risers on the switches?

If the switches were in good shape I don't think it would change much, but since they are dirty it makes them bind more. I still need to take the time to restore them.

Hi everyone, I came across a really cool board on eBay recently: a modified version of the Wang 725-3770 with Tempest shielding. There have been a couple Tempest boards found over the years, but this is the first Alps Wang to my knowledge. wang_top.jpg From the top it looks pretty normal, but things...

It's not a sticker, both of my model Fs had this as well, although to a lesser degree. As far as I can tell it's just part of how the keycaps were made to have that texture, and some boards have it much more noticeable than others. It could also be made worse by wear on the keycaps. Still, the keyca...

Hello, I am working on a custom SKCC project based around SKCC typewriter keyboards. As such I am looking for any of them to test out different layouts, mainly Canon, Sharp, and Panasonics. Because typewriters are heavy and difficult to ship I would prefer to buy just the keyboard modules from them ...
