Thanks for the reply, I can only find them in a MX mount... I will keep looking.

Anyway, fantastic boards and GLWS!

Where did you get the 4.5 unit spacebar for the HHKB JP Daily?

From Canon AP200 typewirters

You are on the right track with Typewirters, I got a old Canon AP200x the other day thats has SKCC Greens with double shots. Spacebar would be a problem but it might work OK for the Alpha's. You have to check each Canon AP though, as they come in whole variety of switches. Please excuse the filth. h...

Great build, great caps, if it was SKCM Creams you could have called it the Tactical General!

Can tell you what it was bought for...http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/c666086426 same scratch on the palm rest. I fired 45,000 Yen at it but got blown away. It's the ITW version as well, which is nice.

Metal case Cherry from 1983 - should be M7's

Try searching under Sigma Data 8100 (Ancient Greek) - Something on a Japanese Blog about it, nothing special. http://park8.wakwak.com/~kaineko2/keybo ... 20922.html

Dunno the RAL/Pantone Code but seems close to the Nixdorf Cherry's on this old sale listing. The right hand one, Think its a CT22 has R1 what you want.

It could be read as ISOSTAT 15, I cannot find that switch but plenty on Google on ISOSTAT. Hope this helps.

Orange 724 has to be worth $125 - $150

Looks very much like the ones used on the Sony Hitbit MSX2 - Its a SMK made switch/board - dome with slider capacitative switch.

Ah, my mistake..... google image search fail.

A Sanyo MBC was part of Gogusrl's sale thread a month or so ago (first item)

Maybe PM him and see if he can put you in touch with the buyer?

Looks the same as the switch on my Caleco Adam keyboard, kind of like them. Sounds like wood/bamboo being hit together bit like the Apple M0110.

I liked the look of them in the past, but based on 002 & Seebart's views on the Olivetti Keyboard 1, I gave it a miss.

If you are in the States something like a Zenith ZKB-2 or a Wang 725 might be worth a look, should get one for less than $100. Apple AEK is good but you would need to convert.

Chicken lips case...mmm Workbench 1.2 & Kempston Qiuckshot Pro, the only joystick for Sensible Soccer!

No probs, it sounds like a good project. I was thinking for fine work tolerances required for the IBM logo, I seem to remember that bespoke jewelry makers sometimes use fine tolerance CNC machines so that might be a option given it would be a one off and a hardcore enigneering firm might not be that...

You colud get the oval laser cut out of brass or even gold and then have it over printed or sprayed with white, the template could be cut in vinyl by a sign maker (people who do vehicle decals etc) Possible other option is have the IBM machined into the metal and then back fill the IBM part with a w...

so badass..... great job!

Hi, best to relist in the Marketplace with a WTB (want to buy) listing. The Topre made dome is probably best bet, but the BKE redux domes maybe easier to get hold of, I've heard the weightings and tactility are not the same as OG Topre though.

I dont think its the Plate Spring Version, the Model number on the listing is a mismatch and the bottom row keys are not triple shot (with green) like the 5576-03 ALPS version.

The West seems to make the same mistakes over and over again in assessing China. Focusing on the Lack of Democracy Human Rights, Tibet, or Censorship etc. All these issues are part of a systematic plan to retain national cohesion for as long as possible for the Chinese State & Economy to achieve its...

No, pretty sure its rubberdome, not sure what flavour. If you can see a white plastic mounting plate under the keys its not going to be Cherry.

I've seen both of them branded for Silicon Graphics systems on ebay before. I think the SGI macropad is ALPS made, but this one looks like the IBM 6094 020.
