[Juan_Sanz]

Hi! I recently posted a topic on reddit looking for information of my old cherry g81-3000.

What should i do with it? Im very lost at this subject.
Thanks;)

Your board seems to be a very early G81-1000HAE, so much so that it hasn't even got the sticker we all know. Do you happen to have a good picture of the label ?

What should you do with it ? you should find a nice pcb, and swap the MYs, for MX, because god knows MYs are bad.

They're bad, but not as bad as they're made out to be when NOS. I think the sound kind of saves them.

I found brand new MYs to be smoother than MX.

I could believe that, if comparing against modern MX. Nice vintage ones are a whole other class. Especially Nixies.

Type 3 MY-Switches are pretty much always trash from my experience, Type 1 and 2 can compete with vintage MX imo. It's only the force curve which completely ruins the switch. These white MY type 2 switches are kinda rare and a nice novelty, sadly still shit from today's point of view.
