Hello, Gentlemen!!! I was lucky to find the chassis from Cherry g80-2100HAD, unfortunately I only have the case and pcb, so I really need to find the keyset, I understand that the chance to find a keyset for HAD is almost zero, but I hope I can find something that will bring the keyboard closer to the original

This is a sad example of a very, very rare keyboard having obviously been butchered for its vintage black switches.
It has the same layout as what in the wiki I called the "
first generation" G80-2100, i.e. with the Cherry key in the programming block itself (instead of in the cursor block like in later versions), but the case is still in the G80-1000 design while the version shown in the pic linked above in this post already used the G80-3000 design.
It would have been a highly rare (and valuable!) collection item, now it's just an eviscerated corpse.
What a waste!

Yes, thank you, I know about this keyboard, because I am a big fan of the earliest g80-2***, it was torn apart not only for the sake of switches, but also for the sake of getting the r1 cherry logo keycap, which is a fetish for many community members. I hope that sooner or later I will be able to restore it to a decent state, no matter how long it may take. It will be a great companion to the other two keyboards in this case that I already have

I'm always amazed whenever I see a 2100. Even more so when I see that particular 2100 HAO with a swedish/finnish layout. A very rare board sporting a very uncommon national layout. Hope you manage to find at least some og parts to restore that stripped 2100

Yes, I only want to use OG caps, and Germany in particular, because it’s HAD.
In fact, finding the main block caps is not a problem, even with the leds in the right places, it is harder to find the side f1-f10, and it is almost impossible to find the top f's because they are blanks with sideprint, except for f11, 12, and of course r1 cherry cap
