I’ve recently bought some nice parts for a possible endgame board and I really should clear out some of the stuff that’s not coming back in rotation anytime soon.

I’m listing the stuff here as an interest check, since I live in Sweden and shipping abroad from here can be hideously expensive (~$25 to ship a single keyboard!) so I may end up selling everything on Swedish keyboarding forums instead; but if anyone here wants what I have despite the shipping cost then I would rather give back to this community since DT is my people.

(Interest Check == I haven’t taken photos of everything yet but if there’s interest then I’ll photo it all and provide details and open a real For Sale thread)

So here’s the stuff:

- New GK75 barebones kit I bought by mistake, maybe $50
- IBM SSK, $300
- SGI Granite Bigfoot, ANSI, SKCM White Damped, $220
- Two AEKIIs, ISO-SE, SKCM White Damped, ~$50 each
- Apple M0118, ISO-SE, SKCM Orange, $85
- HHKB Lite, $50?
- Probably my IBM F XT? $220
- My custom SKCM Brown Alps64 60%, $200? It’s worth more in parts alone but it’s collecting dust here and the browns are somewhat scratchier than I’d like. I may ultrasound and lube/wax it and see if the switches can be brought back to a decent condition
- Carefully desoldered switches: vintage(?) Cherry MX blacks, Alps SKCM whites

I have been looking for an SSK in Europe for quite a while now and I would be interested in purchasing it for the asked price + shipping. Would love to see some photos of it.

That’s great I own two SSKs, one regular and a DisplayWriter (1392464), though one of them has had an LED mod which you might not like. I’ll post pictures of both when I can.

Nice stuff,

Whats the switches in the 3 apple boards, and the condition of them?

Both AEKIIs have white damped (one is quite scratchy and the case has pen marks, the other is much cleaner and the switches are better - at least some of them are. I used it as a test board for different lubes during the search for the perfect Alps restoration lube a few years back. I will clean and restore the whole board before the sale since right now it has a dozen great switches and the rest are still scratchy.

The M0118 has oranges in good condition

All three are ISO-SE layout

Sounds good. Looking forward to it

hey ! could you maybe post a pic of the brown alps custom ? Love to get the chance of owning browns some day

Thank you very much

It’s this one: viewtopic.php?t=14810 only I’ve since swapped the Caps Lock keycap for a Control one and the ‘~ for an Esc keycap.
