I'm continuing my clear out and have some parts to sell on.

I have 66 RK Red switches which are basically brand new. I purchased an RK 66% board and immediately replaced the switches with vintage Cherry MX blues. They have been unsoldered but other than that they are perfect.

They'll hopefully be of some use to someone - I believe they are rebranded Kailh reds although I can't be certain. £15 takes them and that includes postage to the UK, £20 total covers shipping to the rest of the world. I'd also be open to swap these for tactile/clicky switches.

I also have an old Vintage MX style plate, I can't actually remember what this came from although it was attached to a PCB that was filled with vintage blacks when I purchased it. Maybe it could be useful for a hand wired build? Anyway its free if you want to collect it from Newcastle upon tyne (UK) or cover postage costs.

Thanks for looking!

That plate is from an Olympia typewriter -- it would've came with MX Olympia Clears. The layout is pretty proprietary, though... do you have the keycaps to go along with it?

You're right it did! Well it came out of a new stock replacement keyboard for one. I bought 4 of them from a local seller a little while back. It did however have Cherry MX Blacks. Two of the other boards had vintage whites / Olympia whites which aren't quite the same dimensions as standard MX switches and the other had Marquardt Series 6180's. I unfortunately don't have the caps as these were new replacement service parts they actually never had them installed!
