i bid against you for one of these. I'll let you guess which

would absolutely snag a set!

Oo These are all over yahoo auctions, i'm sure you could ...

Quick dump of some more, better pictures i took a while ago after cleaning up the board. 20171210_162601.jpg 20171210_163520.jpg 20171210_173126.jpg 20171210_173130.jpg 20171210_173136.jpg 20171210_160619.jpg 20171210_160213.jpg 20171210_155557.jpg IMG_20171210_154957_901.jpg IMG_20171210_154917_182...

MX Dwarf Clear? :0

i'd love to nominate 30g topre, because it is seldom talked about but offers a very unique and take on one of the most well-respected switches available

i'd like to nominate emdude and co.'s work on the IBM 3277 mini pcbs

seconded, tgr for posting a picture of a realforce box and a string of random numbers, thus leading 86us to sell for $300+

These are genuine APL caps, not Unicomp's washed out crap.

i was under the impression soarers cost that much to begin with

This is going to be very, very interesting.

The '2' was sandblasted off? that's pretty neat

well... at this point he isn't much of a new member anymore :p

You're right, my mistake. I had seen it capitalised on the sites of a few parts suppliers, so I had thought it was official.

Sorry to re-animate the dead, but on another note, SGI and Silicon Graphics can not be used interchangeably. The company was rebranded to SGI which stands for 'Silicon Graphics International' in 2009, but it's current name is officially just SGI. As a company they had nicknamed themselves 'SGI' for...

It had some shitty white alps clone, sadly.

i bought that NTC months ago :< sorry

The one that really interests me is the Canon AP500-II, which uses Alps plate spring switches. Canon typewriter keyboards made by Alps all have a label on the mounting plate indicating (indirectly) the switch series name, and the label inside an AP500-II would give us the series name for plate spri...

I have just acquired a Datacomp DFK-101 with SKCM Blue and ALPS Electric doubleshots. Post to come.

Sincerely I don't see the point in buying old cherry keyboards... It's not like the case of a model f in comparison to a model m... Vintage doubleshot should be identical to the modern ones, don't they? Often, it's a matter of price. An old Cherry HAD keyboard can be HAD ( ;) ) on eBay in Germany f...

Yours for the low low price of... 500 euros.

XMIT, Cindy has long been telling us of keyboards with never-before-seen ALPS SKCL/M switches - forest green, royal blue, purple are a few I remember her mentioning. If you could look out for those, we would be very grateful! enjoy the trip.

I apologise if my comments regarding the ones on taobao matching the Korean ones in terms of construction offended you cookie, that wasn't my intention. I have a lot of respect for you and this GB, it was handled really well and I won't forget you allowing me to keep the additional sticker that ende...

They are the same, just without the coloured accents. Not the ones I've seen in person (which seemed to be the same as these). Thicker outlines + deeper sticker material. It made "Professional" look more smeared together. The Gold is a different colour too. I can confirm, ordered some from mehkee a...

PM'ed!

You're a god, thanks for all the work you've done on this

You are really making a name for yourself with all these nice discoveries

Looks like it was produced June 2004.

Very interesting that the LED windows are of a completely different design to the SGI variant of this that comes with SKCL Grey (and rarely Cream). Super cool!

I know there are JIS ones available on yahoo auctions.
