Vote in the final round of this category to win a New 75 and a ViBE keyboard from Vortex!

Round 2 rules:
Please vote for nominees for the best vintage keyboard or relic in 2017.

You can cast a maximum of five votes.

This round is used to trim down the suggested nominees from round 1 - the five entries with the most votes will be promoted to official nominees and make it into the third and final round.

Suggested nominees:
  • Revenge's Beamship
  • JP!'s fat brown Alps board
  • Cherry G80-1800, the most attractive layout
  • The pingmaster, for bringing vintage Alps into a nice layout with lovely high quality switches
  • Winkeyless cherry g80's. Most aesthetically pleasing layout ever made (IMO). Vintage cherry mx switches. Decent case. And usually nice keycaps!
  • JP!'s IBM 3741 Data Station / System 3 Barn Find
  • ipreferpie's IBM 3277 Beamspring split spacebar disassembly. Just the whole story of how this came to be. Somebody from a completely different community coming here to sell a left over keyboard from a bunch of (to him) interesting commodore computers. He also posted this very nice disassembly thread and helped in creating the replacement pcbs to make these keyboards work.
  • //gainsborough red label Zeniths. Because, well sexy red label zeniths :D
  • Hansichen for the G80-2100 HAO prototype find
  • Cyberovca's Tipro T141A, which revealed a previously-unknown period of Tipro's history and an undiscovered switch
  • OldIsNew's Harris Smart Terminal
  • The G80-0418 presented in that same thread as the G80-2100 HAO prototype find also deserves to be nominated. While it is not a prototype, it is noteworthy for being a very early Cherry G80 keyboard and for being Apple compatible.
The second round ends on Friday 1 December, 19:00 UTC. You can change your vote until the end of the round.

The full results will be published at the end of the awards.
