Did it have a solenoid in the case? Might explain the 8.5V

I don't recall seeing anything resembling a solenoid. The area of the case around the keyboard was completely empty, besides the keyboard assembly of course. If there was one it would have to have been mounted elsewhere which doesn't make ...

Looking at the schematics on page 255 of the friendly manual you linked to, in section "Keyboard -- Z4 Socket Pin Assignments" I smell a hint of the same sort of protocol as for the the IBM 5291 terminal keyboard. There's a "Kbd Strobe" and eight "Kbd 1...7" lines too. I suspect the "Kbd O" or "Kbd ...

If you want to sell some parts, PM me. I wouldn't mind a set of the cards and backplane, just in case. Nice find. These things are so heavy, people just give them away and that is sad.

Damn, I wish I could. My parents got tired of it sitting around and tossed it while I was away :cry:

From the photo it looks as if you could tap into the lines you need and install an xwhatsit. You would need to get busy with the multimeter .

I thought that might be a possibility as well. The way things are routed and the chips at the bottom of the board made it seem like this matrix might be ...

Hey guys, I picked up an old IBM 5120 terminal for free off of craigslist a while back. Unfortunately the terminal was nonfunctional but I was able to salvage the keyboard out of it! Free beamspring yay! :D

What is the Monarch?


Alps Compatible
Uses Apple Extended Keyboard II keycaps (dye sub PBT) and stabilizers
0.090” alumium for the top and bottom plates on the case (switch plate is recessed to allow the switches and stabilizer inserts to properly snap into place)

Redmaus is correct! It's my custom ALPs build called the Monarch.

Just got my rings installed on my HHKB today and lubed things up while I was in there. Very pleased with the result!


Quick little typing comparison with Matias Clicky switches:

UPDATE :

I am pleased to report that I was able to complete "Round 2" of the Silencing Rings ahead of schedule.

Moreover, due to increased production efficiency and economies of scale, I am able to reduce prices by 20%.

The new listings have been posted on eBay.

For those in Europe who might ...

Definitely want a set for my HHKB!

Thanks for the replies everyone! It looks like Gorton Modified is closest to what I was looking for.

Hi! Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I was wondering what the name of the font is that was used on the keycaps found in Honeywell keyboards and what seems to be most keyboards from around that era.
