Cherry G80-2000HAD

I was looking back at my older photos of this board and I thought they were pretty lacklustre, especially considering how special it is - it's truly the King of Cherries in my opinion. So I took some more.

As sad as it may sound, this thing is probably my most prized possession. It was originally owned by kbdfr (one of my favourite people here) and was then passed on to Sixty. His photos of this exact keyboard were the ones which made me fall in love with Cherry all those years ago. If it weren't for him and this keyboard I probably would've quit this hobby before I ever properly got into it. I'm ever so glad that didn't happen and being able to own the exact keyboard that started it all (love you tinnie) is incredible.

I left it dusty on purpose. I don't think this keyboard suits being perfectly clean :lol:

Why do you do this to me. All these boards that I can never own...

You have such a good collection.

There was a 2000 on ebay recently, so don't give up hope :mrgreen: I hope we'll see some pics of that one soon.

I wish I had kept it instead of solding it to sixty,
but on the other hand I'm happy you are the one who now owns it.
And let me return the compliment :mrgreen:

My recently acquired dca IRMAkey/3270 looks quite similar, I'm excited to tear into it now! No calculator, though.
