Hi DT, it's been a while. IBM 5251 beamspring with xwhatsit converter, solenoid, and original cable : $ SOLD (would prefer to ship only to CONUS) There is a crack on the top left of the keyboard (can see in photos). All keys were tested to work about a week ago. No guarantees this will be the case o...

what the fuck

What is a typical price for model ms? I'm looking to buy one as a gift, and noticed there aren't many below 100 USD including shipping on eBay.

I'm working on fixing about 10 broken beamspring switches, and I'm wondering what the best way to completely disassemble one of these is. I know that I have to remove the metal stem, however just pulling on it with a tool doesn't seem to work that well. The switches that I want to repair all have a ...

Is anyone here bidding on that beamspring?

Hello again! I have (ambitiously) decided to make a 60% PCB with a layout dedicated for the caps of my other hall effect boards. Since I'm doing a custom PCB, I am going to try a method HaaTa had suggested. I'm not sure if it was mentioned in this thread before, but he discovered that after re-power...

Has anyone tried applying a dry lube to the switches? I was thinking of putting something like MoS2 as a dry lubricant.

I've always wanted to try doing this, however I never had the time to do so.

Wow, I really like that clock. I was planning on running a Numitron based clock group buy, although due to file issues/sourcing issues I haven't gotten started.

Would you know if the files to create said clock are open source?

Damn, I've always wanted to get one of these. Couldn't find one for a good enough price.

There are the ones with the shitty Cyrillic lasered legends, but they're close to 200 USD.

Does the DAS keyboard have POM caps?

Have these been posted yet?

I was thinking of doing this and then applying a dry lubricant such as molybdenum disulfide on white alps to attempt to see if it will feel like blue alps.

I would be in for a solenoid driver.

I really hope that the seller goes through with this, and goes down the list in order(!)

Damn, too bad I'm in the states. Shipping is going to kill me. That being said, I would like one too

I'm currently trying to get the top plate off of the back plate, but they're really stuck together. I've even lifted the darned top right (or left) tab!

I have just received an F107 in great condition: https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8051/28632322910_6ccb2cf4b4_k.jpg Currently, everything works and is in good order except for the foam and the buzzer. I will begin to work on the buzzer first, as I do not have everything for the foam yet. I'm not sure i...

Also the picture is upside down which really bothers me

G81-3081SAD for 15 euros

I unfortunately may be outbid. I kinda don't want to go over 100....

I found someone, thanks for the help anyways. If anyone wants something, the NCR and the M15 are taken. Rest is up for grabs.

I will split the loot with the community, but I know no one that lives in Ohio....

Looking for someone in Ohio to possibly proxy me something. PM me for details.

That's not as bad I was expecting, and would be willing to pay that. Now the only issue would be to find a proxy. The typewriter weighs roughly 15kg.

I did a rough estimate, and it should be around 350 euros, awesome... Quite bummed that I can't get this typewriter

edit i'm dumb, i was looking at express shipping.

I found a typewriter that I am looking to buy; it's only 15 euros, however shipping it overseas to the states may be a very big challenge for my wallet. If anyone is willing to help in this endeavor, please let me know. More importantly, what would a rough estimate on shipping be? If necessary, the ...
