Direct link here.
Mmm… ANSI too. And €5 less for the one without the stickers! I can see why there's such man-boy love going on between this chap and sth!

Okay, let's see if my hardcore lowball offer takes his fancy.

As yellow as a chain smoker's lungs, but could be good for harvesting switches. Thankfully every cap but one is PBT as well.

Ha ha very good sth. You know I don't love him as much as I love you. :evilgeek: But I love all my neighbors from Holland. 8-) Especially those with nice Alps keyobards. ;)

If you get one of those Datalux SpaceSaver's make sure it's got Cherry ML. MEI switches are meh. MEImeh. :mrgreen:

That sounds like a particularly horrific slasher!

You've been reading too much Julle.

Did anybody here get this SWTPC terminal? (sold recently on eBay) It has vintage Cherry (M7?) switches.

Check out the colours - and look at that skull key! That could possibly be the oldest skull key ever made. (1977?)

What that's a beautiful board. I would've liked it myself.

That skull key is so cool :D

Great colours. That top row is a peek of what I'd like to do with any further rounds of SA caps.

Also note the spherical Helvetica. The G and the R are both quite different from the hokey typefaces you'll find on so many vintage sphericals, or indeed SP's modern remakes. It's not the Cherry font either, or what you'll find on Space Cadet Keyboard for that matter. The only other place I've seen Helvetica sphericals is on a Hewlett Packard terminal.

here you go:

Each time you encounter Massdrop links, just add the following at the end of the URL:

Code: Select all

?mode=guest_open
Regarding the case, I do not like it, something is wrong, it looks too blocky

Is it really that square? Yuck!! And whoever allowed that last shot, surely 2 cases stacked, doesn't want this to be taken seriously either. That bulk!

(I know about the Massdrop guest link trick. I just want posters to do it instead of everyone else! Massdrop makes things needlessly difficult for us, so do bear that in mind when advertising for them.)
