Someone in Ohio sold a new F77 on fb marketplace for $70 last month. I was really confused by that. I was very tempted to get it but I have no excuse to buy another F. You sure it wasn't an original F77 that they sold without awareness of what it was? :P Of course, it could be anything. Maybe this ...

F107 is currently at $3600. Holy shit boys. I'd sell my F107 for $3600.

What the absolute fuck.

The DC-2214 definitely came both ways. I have examples of both in the database. As with the Northgates there doesnt seem to be an exact break by serial number. It's very likely the 3014 came with blue and white switches too. The Leading Edge keyboards came with their computers. Not something you co...

I feel like part of the lack of care came from less awareness, less information about these, and also generational differences. In the 90s, this equipment was becoming useless and getting phased out and there were so many advances going on that I'm sure made it easy to cast the old, dated stuff asid...

While UV is often cited as the prime reason for yellowing of our beloved keyboards' plastics, heat is also another big culprit. If keyboards were stored in an improper environment, ie without climate control, then heat and humidity could've played a part in its yellowing. Also, I believe if there's ...

Where do I get these? They are from the Realforce model 108UG-JS ZH0400. The 108UW ZH0300 comes with cream alphas and grey modifiers (same tone as these). These are JustSystems promotional limited edition models which come with the red modifier keys. There are also vintage OEM model keyboards from ...

Yeah, like all office workers are rocking model bodies. Ahahaha.

Fun advertising.

Oh, easy, just get some toothpicks to wedge I there or if you’re super careful, some small flathead screwdrivers. They are the easiest switches in the world to open without desoldering. Chyrosran22 has a video or two on how to do it. These SMK switches are not the Alps switches you're mistaking the...

I've kept my collection relatively static for a while now and have grown content with what I have while selling off what I feel less of an attachment to. Ultimately it's all relative, whether you can justify keeping an entire warehouse full of keyboards or just a closet or even less so. It's all up ...

That’s right, the one I built doesn’t use Alps stabs, since the Granite keyset doesn’t support them.

SGI Granite keyboards don’t have traditional Alps stabilizers?

They mean DSA Granite from Matt3o

Weak finish. What a shame. That doesn't look like the original finish at all, nor does it seem anywhere near as durable. Fading from use, from simply resting one's palms on the bezel while typing? I've never seen a single 4704 owner complain about that. Most of the chips and dings on those boards ca...

Shots fired!

Can't say I really cared much for the beamspring boards I've owned though.

If I had to choose between Cap BS and beamspring, I'd probably take a nice Cap BS variant over a similar (aesthetically pleasing/pleasing layout) beamspring.

Good stuff, Robb. Very creative! Seeing those recreations of the housing and slider setup is wild. Very nice work thus far.

The wonders of 3D printing. Otherwise, you'd have to do some serious scratch building to get everything precise one even just one side.

lol

Those dark grey keyboards are obviously not branded NCR - which as an NCR owner I would woefully admit, makes them even rarer :lol: Just as an info, NCR branded boards do not simply have a sticker, the brand is molded together with the upper shell. This is not true. I've had to remove and replace t...

What a shame. He was a good guy. May he rest in peace.

Wouldn't removing a stablizer that way still not solve the issue? They'd need to place a flipper in that position if I've understood correctly.

This is my v80 with canon hipros. I'm gonna be rebuilding this baby next week with SKCL greens. Can't wait!

Wow, that is the first tasteful usage I've seen of the Canon spherical caps. It actually matches very well with the Tai Hao Dolch colorway.

That's very impressive! Good work.

Relax, they're real.

Nah, not the older design.

It's 1.5u 1u 1.5u 6u 1.5u 1u 1u 1.5u

Uhh... What kind of room was it left in? A bathroom?

They can be affordable, if you find them on taobao. Less so on other more well-searched platforms.

To the OP, I just remembered that I actually have a loose P70 keyboard unit if you're interested. I could send you a PM if you'd like.

I felt like i have to restore my first vintage keyboard i own, chicony kb-5161a with blue alps switches. So i started it few days ago. Today after cleaning and restoring every switch and solder them back. Then with pluged on keyboard and solder iron i picked up keyboard and somehow touch iron. When...

Gosh, there's so much dialogue here that I really couldn't go through all of it, but... If there's any recommendation I'd give that isn't Topre (I personally use silenced 30g Topre if I ever have aches), it would be Alps Plate Spring, aka Alps SKCP. The deskthority wiki cites it as being quite a com...

How much is this 50 key without a case worth? https://img.yapo.cl/images/16/1672747442.jpg https://img.yapo.cl/images/16/1626763177.jpg Yeah, not much without the case, but still... It's stunning to see. Excellent condition. Someone who already owns an F50 might want this as a replacement assembly....

LMAO! Shows you the kind of people slandering and hating on Red. Reminds me of myself a little while back hating on a certain fanbase (over that now, thankfully) Of course it does. Both of you have the same unabashed sensitive egos and can't take criticism with any semblance of grace, humility, or ...

Not gonna lie, this thread is just making you look worse and drawing more attention to you and this entire situation.

What a fucking mess.
