deskthority

This is so utterly ridiculous. 250€ for a lasered-caps run-of-the-mill G80-3000 - and its not even in great condition. Gives me violent ideas...

A set of two plates / PCBs with Aristotles and one with (vintage?) Cherry MX white for 25 quid, possibly less with offer. What are you waiting for? (Postage from UK kinda kills it for me and I'm no longer in awe of any -totles...)

Bump

Do these look like other Acer (Multitech) Accufeels people have seen? They seem linear at first but have a tactile event towards the bottom (when the slider hits the membrane?). Very sturdy early to mid-80s board with metal plate (for an Apple clone, I believe). Shoit, though, as I was hoping for AL...

What colour Mitsumi Mini switches in that 3C board? I might buy or offer a nice trade... Thanks.

Thanks for the info! The seller has asked me to contact him again in two weeks' time so I guess there are plenty of other takers...

As for these: Cherry inside? (Wyse clones?)

Anything worth shelling out for in this picture? The green keys' colour (top right) is reminiscent of Cherry TA boards, but everything else about those board seems rather un-Cherry. Bottom right? On the top left, the F-XT is obvious, with a cheap (?) F-AT clone beneath it (possibly Alps or MX-clones...

The layout is also similar to this Harvest / Omron board, but the double-curved compact case probably means it's something less desirable. https://archiwum.allegro.pl/oferta/stara-klawiatura-harvest-kb-5349a-st-1825-klik-i6909670289.html What is this thing? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/2...

Anyone care for some potato-spotting in this very nasty pile? Some of these appear to have been sun-toasted to a fine crisp! :lol: Well, I can spot a Cherry 1000 at the top right and a Model M(?) at the top left of the pile. Possibly the wavy sides of one or two AEKs further down. Something Siemens-...

Very pleasant form factor beamspring!

What's with the high bids on this one? Not even a Nixies one... https://www.ebay.de/itm/SIEMENS-NIXDORF ... SwuBVdntbB

Three Acer KB-102AS are up on German eBay, at least one with photo-confirmed blue ALPS. Pretty well yellowed, though...

Quite a flood of these around just now, eh?

anybody else thinking that ebay kinda dried out? Acutally, I've been thinking just that a lot for the last half year or so. Kleinanzeigen, too. Maybe a sort of critical moment has come where most of the remaining interesting vintage keyboards are already in the hands of collectors and laypeople hav...

Yes, Rafi-made for sure!

Myoth: I actually found an NMB board with space invaders in a practically identical case. What made you assume it's sliders-over-dome?

Hm, having mixed feelings about this one. It looks extremely flat, but could still have ALPS, no? Anyone got an inkling? Thanks!

Buggeritis!

Good luck, man! I always found these kinds of hauls very exciting, a bit like Christmas TBH. And rare enough for those of us who don't have friendly recyclers in their vicinity like some I could mention...

Update on the Matias switches

That's a *very* good rubber dome made by NMB. It is not, however, mechanical, even though it is noisier than quite a few clicky boards.

I reckon this has Fujitsu leaf springs in a very cool compact layout. High shippings costs kill it, of course. But maybe there's someone here from Australia who has a taste for it.

Quite monstrous, comes with an IBM system. Any ideas on switches?

Wow, you do have keen eyes! Let me guess, you're under 40?

And don't those boards have absolutely the weirdest [edit]lock indicators[/edit] y'all have ever seen?

Thanks! I just thought that was an Apple command key logo on those Alt keys...

If anyone wants one of those Siemens boards in the first picture let me know and I'll get them for you for 15€ plus shipping. There are also a G80-3000 LPMDE and a G81-1000HAD to be had from that seller. Let me know if interested. I want that NCR. Is that Apple (?) board at the bottom of the second ...

Early replacement board, says KTC on PCB - Keytronic?

Me not much of a connaisseur of anything that came before DIN plugs...

That raised Enter key on the Datalux!

There's a Televideo board with white space invaders up on eBay US, BTW...

here

Wow, that seems a pretty unusual board - quite distinct in layout from the Cherry-assembled G80-2XXXs. Glad to hear you're enjoying it!

I'd get that Olivetti board if it's no more than 5 - 10€. Should have interesting short travel switches.

The one behind that should be a Monterey K208 (rubber dome).

The rest is modern crap...

This looks somewhat complicated inside. It's from a DEC Letterwriter 100 currently on eBay UK. A known switch?

Well, the bidders list shows obvious shill-bidding.
The "bidder" shown as e***a (144) in the bid history is or has been bidding, as the details of his own bid history reveals, on multiple articles of the same seller in many different categories:

Thanks, Mr eBayWatch, well spotted!
