That is pretty cool. Nothing interesting like that ever shows up on craigslist around here in Boston.imdatperson wrote: ↑05 Feb 2019, 21:21Thanks by local lot I meant that I got it off craigslist locally- I worded it a little weird hahasnacksthecat wrote: ↑05 Feb 2019, 21:12Grats dude!

I haven't been to the MIT flea in several years though. Maybe I should check it out when it starts back up in the spring.

Believe me I was extremely shocked for sure, but lately I have been having some luck I guess. Not too long before finding the collection I got lucky with an out of state craigslist ad that was willing to ship! Ended up getting an NEC board with white alps and a 5181 with blue montereys for a crazy good deal. Something will eventually show up man!mattlach wrote: ↑06 Feb 2019, 01:41That is pretty cool.

Never in the many years I was a regular at the MIT flea did I find a particularly nice keyboard. I haven't been in almost ten years but I feel like it was going downhill when I left.

That is a shame. I haven't been in probably the same amount of time, and I never looked for keyboards when I went.
Last I went I picked up a couple of SGI Indigo workstations just for fun. Never did anything with them, though...

The days of finding this stuff outside of ebay are numbered for sure.

Well I guess that's not entirely true. I got a NIB Model M with Trackpoint, back in 2003 or so, for about $20. I ended up selling it at some point. Even then I preferred the older, heavier Ms!
But you won't find a Space Cadet there, that's for sure. When I stopped going it was getting taken over by commercial surplus operations selling like four year old Thinkpads.
