Congrats on the score! That is some unusual layout ...

Hey, I saw that (in a Google search) and I was 1 hour too late to bid. I said, "Some lucky bastard got that lot for only $17!" On closer inspection though, I don't think I would have tried to get it. Those Wangs are pretty rusty. (...never thought I'd say a line like that...)
That brown keyboard looks interesting. What is it?

That is a great haul, wow ! Such amazing boards, that Olivetti looks great..
Apart from the beamspring that brown keyboard looks the most interesting; that stem of the missing key looks like it could be hall effect ?

Wow, a lot of work but such promise. Great layout on that IBM!
I wonder what those caps are on the white Wang 2222E? They almost like they could be illuminated.

The split spacebar is uncommon though. Dedalus has a similar data entry beamspring (in much better shape) but without the split spacebar.
Yeah, almost certainly a normal microswitch hall effect. The (seemingly) more common non dual magnet type.nourathar wrote:That is a great haul, wow ! Such amazing boards, that Olivetti looks great..

I have one or two (in great shape) sitting next to me. They are just relegendable. There is a limp next to "tab" though. Makes it harder to take apart.facetsesame wrote:Wow, a lot of work but such promise. Great layout on that IBM!

I never expected the vintage keytronic switches to be that decent though.
They also can have a "bent" spacebar like some of the newer microswitch hall effect keyboards.

Ooh, this is very interesting! Nice find
This is a 3277 (not 3278) Data Entry keyboard. I believe I have seen the extra "0" button described as an option, but I can't remember where... Will dig up later.
