I happen to have the same problem...unsolved sofar!

She will probably get worse when she sees what these go for on eBay!

Yeah, I managed to keep that "in the dark" for quite a while. It's the "out of sight" concept that works for me sofar!

You guys crack me up. Keep it up, and our wives might have a "spousal reduction"... Playing

Seebart, I know you have some jewels (not sure what all). Anytime you are ready to start downsizing anything starting with "un", "kish", "beam" (excluding great whites), or ending in "77"... PM me if you want more than they are worth

Unfortunately I don't own the "un", "kish", "77" or the "62" for that matter. I do have more obscure Micro Switch boards that will not be "unloaded".

My wife has mandated a massive reduction in keyboards- I have over 50- mostly normal Ms, but I have a 3 brand new SSKs and a lot of other odd stuff. I also have a NIB 82g up on eBay aw well.

This keyboard looks awesome btw, you cannot tell it isn't a true industrial from most angles. I am also including the original top...

All of those Model Ms and you use a Quickfire Rapid?!

I know... But I am mostly on a Mac, and I hate remapping capslock to the option key to make it usable... I rotate in my custom black SSK too, but mostly QFR- it's a good keyboard!

Wow, nice! It has quite a Unicomp look to it, much like the SSK that they will never make!

do you mean blurry dyesub?

Cut them some slack! The blurry dyesubs don't bother me as much as misaligned legends..

Northgate Omnikey Plus power!

that seller really liked one type of click in his keyboards (or he has them from a company that bought a hole bunch)

Of course we know to be careful with old dirty Alps keyboards, but these should be worth it.

One of them is blue Alps, too. Apparently they all have some defect, but still.

Buy em all , send em to bob !

Going to ask if he will do shipping to UK , i need some blue alps ! See if he will split it and i can just ship the " broken " one as i put it to the UK

Don't care about caps or case , just need the switches for a custom alps board

I might get in on that if he is unwilling to split it up. Let me know if anything comes up.

It's not an Ultra T, but I might be interested as well. Assuming each board is ~2.5kg, rough estimate is $150 for shipping to UK. Still, long to go in the auction.

I love it how the venerable model M is just a sideshow in this one

I am in the U.S., so if there is a cheaper method of shipping across the pond I could help.

Sheesh, the things people will do for blue Alps.

Thankfully the board is halfway gone anyway, wouldn't feel bad about taking it apart for the switches.
