Great/Interesting Finds

[ddrfraser1]

Won a bid I wasn't really expecting to get its for an untested IBM PC 5140 with the brown ALPS. $175 was the winning bid which isn't a fantastic deal or anything just hoping the switches are in decent condition as I want to build a 60% - that said I'm a few switches short if anyone has spare browns or something close enough (orange, salmon, even white). *fingers crossed*

Sweet! How are the caps on those?

They are somewhat rare Alps PBT so I think I will reuse them in my build after cleaning them. I absolutely need a Fn key tho and will be purchasing a ABS variant for it. Here's the listing:

First time buying an old keyboard through ebay so I'll see how burned I get.

You may need to look for an Ansi alps keycap set if you plan to use those browns in a 60%

I've been trying to figure out if it's blue alps for the last like 10 minutes. Makes me so upset when there is no picture of the back label. Not even a pic of the back of the board!!

Damn....for $40 total, could have just taken a chance on it!

[//gainsborough]

yeah I thought about, hahaha. Someone will be happy with it, though! Hopefully someone from here!

Isn't it beautiful? I'll post some nice pictures once it arrives. I think the price was fair too, considering some MS SW boards in here went for 400usd.

It was listed for several week and the price kept going down. Obviously there isn’t much demand for such boards in Germany.

Looks like the exact same photos to me. You'd think somebody would have bothered to clean it by now.

For 3K I would ask for current pictures of the keyboard ... these are from an auction more than 3 years ago.
