Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread

Re: Dear Model F owners, can we talk? (Long rant)
It was my understanding the solenoid activated when the terminal couldn't keep up with your key presses? I'm recalling from a YouTube comment I read years ago so maybe this is totally wrong.

[WTB] Leading edge dc-2014 spacebar
The spacebar in my dc-2014 is messed up and it makes typing on it pretty annoying. Perhaps a long shot, but maybe someone has a spare? If they harvested the board and kept the extra keycaps? I need the stabilizer wire, the spacebar, and the stabilizer holder things (basically just the spacebar unit ...

Re: Dear Model F owners, can we talk? (Long rant)
Wanted to give my two cents on this, I have always been in the camp that model fs were way better, having a clean XT, while my only experiences with M's were ones from the 90's. Recently I had been donated a 1390120 M from my uni, dated Jan 17 of 86. It feels much, much better than every other exper...

Re: Great/Interesting Finds
nos datacomp dfk777 with blue alps. expensive, and I don't need another blue alps keyboard, but looks absolutely delicious. I've never seen one without a super scratched up metal back. (well, outside of the wiki )

Re: Alps Appreciation
Another thought I had, is there any discernable rhyme or reason to why some of these had the Zenith in gold, while others had the data systems in gold? The ones with the gold on the Zenith seem much more rare, are they the earlier badge? Or maybe from a different PC / monitor, because it seems the b...

Re: Alps Appreciation
Just got done restoring my z150, and its awesome. :lol: :lol: I finally got an alps keyboard that I can actually consider using over my model f xt. Keycaps are all of the double shot abs variety. With green alps. Lubed the springs, fully cleaned the top housings + sliders, as well as waxing the slid...

[WTB] Sanyo MBC-555 Keyboard
I am looking for the keyboard that came with the Sanyo MBC-555. I am only looking for one in good condition, with smooth switches, no binding. Not super yellowed. Doesn't have to be converted. I am located in the U.S.A. Looking to pay around ~$200 (maybe this is too low i dont really know). Thanks e...
