All of these eventually get posted here, and it has all the right words in the title, so here's another 5251 Beamspring:

Not sure if it being in China will affect what it goes for due to possible customs issues or the long ...

I'm interested in 120 yellows and 20 clones.

This is the one that Photekq tried to buy last week - relisted at double the original price!
No, I did get it! I guess he has multiples :)
Yes ...

Hopefully it will find a good home Blaise .

Yep, it's fine. I except flawless photos and a great write-up.

Shamelessly an asshole. ;)

The seller had two other 7690s and a few additional spare keyboards, but they're being sold to other people -- locally, I assume. He's only selling me one 7690 and a couple of spares. There were also a few other items of interest that he lumped into the lot once I picked ...

I saw it on eBay and got in touch with the seller, who was silly enough to pull the listing and allow me to make an offer on it. It's taken me over a month to convince him to send me some detailed photos and an invoice, though.
So you're the asshole who did that, I was going to bid!!!

Guess it's ...

I just remembered about this, did your deal go through, ohaimark? I'd be pretty interested in hearing about what you were trying to get.. :shock:

Good on you for remembering. I'm just reaching the point of shipping with the seller -- he is a piece of work. He's not mean, just idiotic.

I'll give ...

He's obviously been hijacked by ebay.

Wife hijacked his account and is beginning to move inventory ?

Who is Sixty?

Want! The wrist-rest perfectly complements the board...

Make the switch types dependent on the manufacturer, that it will only show switches from that manufacturer when it is selected. I would also include condition: NIB, Like New, for parts...etc. And of course have a "newly listed" option.

Yeah, it could be used as a place to host pdfs of the book. If we would want to print it, we could self-publish it through a place like https://www.lulu.com. Print on demand services are unbelievably cheap nowadays.

Scratch one pcb company off the list.

And got it for ~<2EUR shipped ^^

Just addded some more photos to the last post.

Great find, and for that price . Do you have any info on those switches?

Now this is neat: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Hollerith-Maschi ... SwGjpXTF6n

Geat find, I can understand your enthusiasm!!! Like the others said, I am interested in a project too (though I live on the west coast, so I could bear the shipping).

Ah, isn't this Northgate Bob's site, the guy who said there's no difference between Blue and White Alps? I believe he was mentioned in the Alps Appreciation thread. Out of curiosity, does anyone who has dealt with him knows how much he charges on average for one of his keyboards?

Don't dismiss ...

I am in the U.S., so if there is a cheaper method of shipping across the pond I could help.

I am defiantly in for one.

Very nice, is the logo etched in?

Very nice Greek Model M: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ibm-Model-M-key ... SwH6lXRI2D

I want those caps so bad.

The description is true to the nature of the product.

Yep: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 7675.l2565

Doesn't look like troll bidding...

Ship to U.S. ?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I greatly prefer the aesthetics of these boards over the 5140 though.
