New items added! A Marquardt Mini, some WoB doubleshots, an interesting keypad with Oak Full-Travel Membrane switches, a Bavarian G81 and two dome with slider boards.

@Daniel: Sorry, I didn't find the time to properly document the Telefunken keyboard with Marquardt 6180 switches, but I can take photos of the relevant parts, which I can upload. Do we need internal shots?

I love that Bavarian board so much.

Sad that the cherry doubleshot WoBs are already gone.

New user here. Made an account just to say, that's a nice Olympia. Thinking about buying it

Do you have any other linear Space Invaders AT board you are willing to sell?

I wish I would, they feel awesome. I have another one of those Liberty keyboards, but I didn't manage to convert it so far.

Wob set arrived today and everything went smooth, thanks again!

Bump! Added french Apple M0110, converted to USB.

Edit: Added pictures for the Apple M0110.

Bump! Added AFC Operator keyboard and Topre K1-00 (Topre short-throw).

Bump! Price drop on the AFC Operator keyboard and Topre K1-00.

Since noone seems to be grabbing the G81, I wonder if it would be possible to use the stabilized non-MX caps on the compatible MX PCB below with a bit of modding, so that this keyboard would finally sell. It's a great looking keyboard, but those stabilized keys and the MY switches ruin it. I still hope it sells and gets MX-ified.

It's pita to mod those keys and you'll hardly get a perfect result. Also the case may be incompatible to mx pcbs but data about that is rather low- Else I'd already own it cause it's a funny ugly board

The one I linked will be compatible (just need to punch out those two weird looking holes)



But those stabilized caps are a shame. Maybe someone could replace them with blank grey or white ones.

But when you replace those caps all the novelty is gone, then you can just throw all of them away imo

yeah that sucks.
But maybe it would be possible to make a 3d-printable one that works like alps stabilizers, but that would be too much effort for lasered caps.

Bump! If you feel like the prices are too high, just tell me so, they are negotiable!

Bump! Slight price drops.

That short throw Topre is intriguing. Looks like a nice mod, too.



Are the Japanese mods (especially those beside the little space bar) addressable in your converter? Can you remap the key under NM to space, etc.?

Yes, all keys on this keyboard are addressable in Soarer's converter, I think the ones next to the spacebar are currently mapped to Alt left and FN1.

Bump! Adjusted some prices, added an Atari AT style keyboard with white Space Invader switches and a bunch of freebies. I'll just give away the freebies all together, no separate sales!

Hello,
is the Chicony KB-5191and the IBM M2 still available? I would like to try to fix the M2 (when I have spare time).
I hope I misunderstand the part about:
“Freebies (You have to take them all together, no separate sales!)”
Best regards,
KJ5KJM5

Hi,
I'm interested in the Oak Full Travel Membrane board as well as all the freebies if kj5kjm5 doesn't take them.

@kj5kjm5: Sorry, I really do want to "sell" those freebies all at once, since it would be too much hassle for me to package and ship them right now. So you would have to take them all for now. Maybe we could do a deal, if Noobmaen want's to take the remaining keyboards, but that's up to him to decide.

@Noobmaen: Great! I'll get back to you, once kj5kjm5 decides!

@Nuum: Noobmaen and I made an agreement.
You send him the Freebees and he sends me the IBM M2.

Ok, cool, I'll contact Noobmaen then!

The package arrived safely yesterday, I tested the Model M2 just now on my Win10 PC and it works without problems. I had to reboot in safe mode for it to enable the PS2 port first, maybe this was the reason it didn't work on your computer.

Great to hear! Could very well be that it was an issue with my PS/2 port, I had problems with that before. I don't remember if I have tested that keyboard with my Blue Cube USB converter as well. Well, lucky you, I guess!
