Cindy's Unsaver haul
Cindy, A.K.A. elecplus, regularly acquires lots of vintage keyboards. The Unsavers didn't last long when marketed to Deskthority users!

Image

Snuci's Model M rescue
Snuci rescued more Industrial Model Ms than most of us will see in a lifetime.

Rusty beam springs in an abandoned place by Madhias
While this photo technically wasn't taken by Madhias, it was posted by him. If we can contact the original photographer we will.

Image

Cindy's XT and F122 haul for the MF project
You probably won't ever see more Model F keyboards in a single location. Feast your eyes upon the keyboards who donated vital parts to make the Model MF possible, and thank them for their service.

Cindy's model MF haul had to be the best. All those great keyboards gave their lives for the greater good!

Any clues at all for where that image from Madhias was taken? That's just a tragedy.

PM Madhias, he might know. I'm pretty sure he posted it originally.

Wondering if they accept borrowing them for a bit of a time hehe

The Beamspring graveyard is such a great photo, and such a tragedy.

Nominated Cindy for the MF haul, and insofar as helping get a project off the ground, it's been monumental for the MF buy- having switches available, for a very cheap price, lets tons of people who normally wouldn't be able to, get into capacitive buckling springs in a real way.

The two Beamers are toooo tasty to not vote these beauties. Nothing beats the feeling of the beam!
