New post [Keyboards] New Wey MK06 owner
Which connector box is this? I'm using a Wey MK06 with Connector box 5 and could send you my config. That should give you a starting point.

New post [Keyboards] IBM F62 (4704 Model 200) - UK variant
I have aquired a F62 (4704 Model 200). It is a UK variant of the F62 with slightly different PCB.
Just wanted to share my wiring guide for a F AT Universal Controller.
The UK version of the IBM 4704 Model 200 aka IBM Model F62 with the part no.
6019319 or similar can be wired to a universal controller

New post [Group buys] Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project
Not yet. Container shipments usually take closer to two months including time to load the container at the port and unload the container here. Then I need to go through everything, test things, prepare orders, confirm mailing addresses, etc.

New post [Keyboards] Datadesk TK-3000 Disassembly Advice
I love the way these boards look, and am trying to get at least one unit perfectly restored and functional. Upon removing the caps on the first one I acquired, I noticed the metal base plate that holds all of the switches was chipping paint and rusting. I have since obtained a second identical unit,

New post [Keyboards] Best vintage keyboard without spending life's savings?
( Big version of the photo )
The keyboard currently sitting here is a 1981 IBM Model F/XT , unmodded, which was $99 on eBay, with a $30 XT-to-USB converter from Amazon. The whole setup was under $150 with taxes and shipping included.

New post [Keyboards] IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread
Thanks a lot, pal! I think you're right!
The Acer is 6311 with that elegant bend at the top and 2 sets of feet. The switch is Acer. Large keys rattle quite a bit, but overall, the switches feel pretty decent; the tactility is pleasant. The keyboard is reasonably small, I could find a practical use

Dear All. I am new here. Greetz to All! I thought in the early nineties, that clicky loud switch keyboards aren't nice. And now I changed my mind :lol: So now I have about ten of them in different condition. Most of them are Chicony 5191/5192 and Nan Tan / NTC 6251/6252, maybe some other, I did not

New post [Keyboards] NMB RT101 - Keys suddenly dying for no reason?
Update 2: It's fixed :)
After adjusting the back plate screws of this keyboard, the problem is fully, and i mean, FULLY fixed
Even the ⬆ is working as intended, what a surprise!
Membrane keyboards are just that much simpler i guess.
