Hey Guys, anyone know if the internals of a Chicony KB-5160 are interchangeable ?
Meaning that I would be able to swap out the mitsumi pcb with an alps pcb ? would love a 5160 with skcm blues.
I have a pretty pristine one that sadly comes with the mitsumis (even nos they are merely ok) and someone willing to sell me his scratched / dinged up alps version. would swap the cases if possible.
Thanks for any input / experience

I can't answer your question about the internals swapping, but if for some reason the Mitsumi case won't work and a Futaba one would, I have a like-new Futaba 5160 case that I could be easily talked out of.
