For sale (or trade) is my Omnikey Ultra with pine white Alps. I have done an (almost) complete restoration on this; cleaned the case, caps, desoldered and ultrasoniced the switches, sanded the plate to a super nice finish to get rid of surface rust, and obv put it all back together. The only thing left to be done is retrobright, but the yellowing isn't that bad and it's pretty even. The switches feel pretty good, I don't have a ton of experience with pine whites (mostly bamboo) but they feel like an 8-9/10 I'd say. They also sound pretty good, but some do click excessively on upstroke (although I tried to keep those out of the alpha block, since it bugs the hell out of me and I figured it might bug someone else). Comes with the original cable and a simple DIN to PS/2 adapter (works just fine over PS/2).
Anyway, I'm not sure exactly how much I should ask for, so I'll take both money offers and vintage trade offers. I would love more Alps but preferably not whites (they're not bad, I just want to try something new haha), but I'm also fine with something else, just let me know what you have. I will give priority to traders/buyers in Ontario, then Canada, and then the US. I'd rather not ship to the rest of the world but may be willing to depending on what you have to trade or whatever. Thanks!
