Interesting terminal disguised as a keyboard. I am guessing these are some sort of Alps switches? The seller says they feel clicky like a mechanical keyboard. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cardinal-Terminal-Keyboard-VTG-computer-item-NEW-NOS-PMC-manual-RCA-spinoff-/282589612289?hash=item41cba74901:g:m-cA...

Really nice score! Had no idea the APL caps on this were so vibrant. Also nice to see how you filled in the few gaps that the seller left. Great work!

Awesome work! All of the tones compliment each other so well.

Haha, I see what you did there. Not sure why you quoted hansichen's post though. Yep - I'd probably pay the $20 for it as well, but it's the 4 hour drive (each way) that I'm just not too keen on right now. Yeah, sorry. I don't know how to use line-through formatting, so I just edited the whole thin...

So I freaked out a little when I took a glance at this listing near me in Ontario, but then realized it's a discrete rubber dome style...Model 00 'Unsaver'? I guess? I don't know what people refer to this one as, but here is the listing incase any Canadians are interested, and here is a link to som...

Thank you all for the suggestions!

I'm looking for an SKCM Orange board now. If it's too loud, I'll look into the paper mod or swapping in cream/white damped sliders.

Hahaha! That sounds like a solid plan. Thanks for the help!

Hey DT, I've seriously fallen for capacitive buckling spring. Unfortunately, this has taken some of the joy out of my office board, the FC660C. I'm sure others have been here before. What are some fun , office-friendly (non-clicky) switches to ease the pain of leaving my buckling spring at home? Top...

This thing is really neat. Thanks for sharing!

Can definitely vouch for the feel of a 4704 and XT vs AT and F122 having used all of them for a significant amount of time at one point. With those I always feel a slight vibration after actuating the key, whereas with the AT and 122 it's just a simple snap. Not sure if any of you have noticed this...

^^ All of the above. Super excited about this! Definitely interested in a 66-key when you do a run. Thanks for all you're doing!

Model F AT with a starting bid of $49.00:

Today was the first day I was able to really test out my 3277 from Scottex, and it is fantastic!

I've been keeping an eye on this thread, and I'd love to join any group buy that comes out of it.

Awesome work!

Here is a shot of my desk at work. Yes, that is that ridiculous Tipro setup I took pictures of before on the keycaps thread. Yes, I use it every day. No, I use the center board with my right hand and the left split to type, but my peers still have a full-sized board with Swedish labels. Not picture...

Focus FK 5000:

Don't know how reasonable that price is.

Thanks for all the help! I ended up going with this one for now:

Beautiful photos!

Thanks for sharing.

Are you guys all assuming the wasps are still alive? It could easily be a really old, completely dead wasp nest that's just going to be a pain in the ass to clean, but entirely possible. I can't imagine the seller is planning on shipping a keyboard/computer with an occupied wasp nest in it. It has ...

Hope I can post this here.

We're decorating our office with vintage advertisements. I'd like to hand something keyboard or computer related. Any suggestions for goods ad?

Have a great day!

IBM 3277s on a classified in Madrid, Spain. There's at least one DT user from Madrid, right? No idea what the seller might expect for them, it's an "offers welcome" ad. Ok m8s I'm in talks with the guy. In about 7 hours I'm visiting him. I'll keep you all posted :mrgreen: Congratulations! What a ni...

Apparently excellent condition Model F AT. I'm told the Buy It Now price is way too high.

Jeeze. Congratulations! That's a dream find.

Oh my gosh! What a beautiful find!

Thank you for sharing this with us. I would love to hear the backstory as to how you ever discovered its location. Any tips to share on finding our own?

Great work!

Congratulations!

How did you ever find it? I still don't know how to do this sort of work.

Very, very nice!

Thank you all for your replies! I think it'll be either Gatistotles or Kailh Bronze! Should probably wait until I can hear what the Bronze switches sound like in a case. They sound like the absolute opposite of each other. Bronze ones are very high-pitched metal, gatistotles fairly deep plastic. He...

Damn, Ellipse--that is nice.

It may have started but it won't take over DT.

Just guard your core in Telegram and you'll be fine. Coming from Slack, Telegram is a real slog.
