Bump, added Wyse

That's some serious stuff. Nice!

Anyways, what are your plans for a case for this thing? Mine is also still only a loose unity which is a shame because those switches are really great.

Glad I could help!

For converters, I always recommend Hasu's, cause the customizability and compatibility is better. If you go for a Soarer's, I suggest you buy from Orihalcon.You should be able to find his listing on eBay.

I just realized the way I positioned the three could lead to misunderstandings. The leftmost pin is unused

Yes, I can confirm it is XT. Here's a picture of the pinout:

I retract my statement, just pushing them in works just as well. In my case, it's not even neccessary to square of the toothpicks at all.

I may present you the pinnacle of modern, german engineering: The Digitran Slide Extract-O-Matic

As I am also in the process of restoring a Harris Digitran, I can vouch for the toothpick method. However, what I found to be a lot more gentle on the sliders is not just flat squaring them off, but rather giving them just a tiny bit of a tapre towards the end. That way you don't have to push in sup...

How about actually hitting it with a hammer, yourself? If you set a metal case aside for whenever you’re appropriately angry, it could be quite therapeutic.

I like that idea. If you use a hammer of an appropriate size you should in theory be able to achieve the same effect over time

Of course it's not hammered. It's the finish/coating. Name has historic origin: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerschlaglackierung

Hammerschlaglack-Surpremacy. I have never seen metal keyboard cases with a hammer finish before. That's a rare thing, right?

Another thought I had, is there any discernable rhyme or reason to why some of these had the Zenith in gold, while others had the data systems in gold? The ones with the gold on the Zenith seem much more rare, are they the earlier badge? Or maybe from a different PC / monitor, because it seems the ...

That's what FTFY means. :D I know, I was trying to make a joke. Seems like next time I should try to hire someone more experienced to do that for me :lol: XT is just horrible . AT is what they should have started with, and the Model M layout was the ultimate goal; achieved in just a few years, in a...

Heyy, that's not what he said?!
