I was sure you already had one of those...nice get either way.

I bought some £1.50 coiled USB cables from China a few weeks ago, I think that's the last interesting thing I bought. I'm rock and roll like that.

I used to have the AEG Olympia G81-3015 version, but I really disliked the coffee-ish colours of those AEG Olympia caps..

Ah OK, so this is the "traditional" Cherry beige then, got it.

Stick it on your 5000, make us all wet our pants ;).

Nice, I would need one of these... where do you get these if I may ask?
I saw a Reddit.com/r/mechmarket thread about 3 weeks ago where the people from Originative where selling random keycaps from add-ons (like cmyw) and from some keysets. They weren't saying anything about GMK Dolch keycaps but I sent them a mail anyway. They were kind enough to sell me the 10 GMK Dolch keycaps (+Esc) that I needed.

Yeah, this is the bog standard G80-1000HAR. I think I will stick it on the 5000, but I have another plan for the caps too..

Ah, I see, thanks for answering! So that's Dolch dark grey, I didn't watch close enough and thought it was black... The spacebar should have given it away...

Nice find anyway!

Just found what I believe to be a pair of Avid Apple Extended Keyboard II's. This should match nicely with my "Avid Ready" Power Macintosh 9600 for which I didn't have a keyboard. I don't think I've seen one before (at least I wasn't looking before). For these video editing keyboards, does anyone know if those coloured key caps fit over the normal key caps underneath? I could use another AEK II for something else.

Here's a pic:

They're AEK IIs all right. Avid simply made its own caps. They still did that a few years ago, when Apple's dome keyboardsstill had easily replaceable caps. Not so sure now though.


Edit: Nope. Avid has some OEM now. The boards are in Apple's 2007-2015 style, but aren't identical like before:

I just got what appears to be a G80-1000HASRO:

Filthy, incomplete, but a HASRO all the same. :D :D

Really, PM me if you want to sell it. I will buy it. It's not NIB, but after searching for 2 fucking years I'll take used.

Oh and.. very, very nice find! Congrats! :mrgreen:

Oh yeah, silly me. It's lacking the lip from the 1000 series. Thanks for the correction, guk.

@photekq: surely this isn't the one you mentioned?! I thought you already had it?

Yeah, it's the one I'm looking for.. Absolutely looks like a HASRO to me.

No, I never got it.. Not after all these years.. :cry:

And yeah, this is a 3000 HASRO, there was a photo with the back label on the ad.

Bloody Poland! First 10 Czech boards and now a Russian one! It seems it really is the place to be for the _seriously rare_ Cherry boards.

Don't forget my duo of G80-2500HAUs, one NIB and one N but-only-in-contents-of B and unusual "Giulup"-branded G81-3000HAU. :mrgreen: I suppose they're just mildly interesting, though. I just wish I could find a G80-5000 here...

Don't blame Poland, blame the hobbyists for fanaticising over Slavic boards. :P

Besides, it's specifically the dyesubs, or 키릴 승화, or 西里尔升华, that are lusted after. Only the cream of the crop!

I don't know, I'd give a vital organ for one of those PL boards, not so much the RU or Korean ones.

G80-5Ks are vital organs, right? :evilgeek:

I can't say I blame the enthusiasts at all. They're glorious boards! Though I have to say, the calm blue secondary legends of the G81-3000SATs is much nicer than the HASRO. I just can't justify using mine, it's so pristine!

I find a G80-5000 without its special G80-5700 numpad is worth only 1/2 of a vital organ :lol:

I like these exchange rates... :lol:

So, does anyone have a spare dye subbed numpad / and enter key? :mrgreen:

I think Ramnes sold a few partially incomplete French dyesub sets, maybe I can pester him about it.
