Free Stuff

[GuilleAcoustic]

Someone's giving an F for free ?!? Do want !

Oh, that was just my imagination

[eldorange]

this thread is going nowhere...

[ramnes]

I still have all my G81 to give.

[Muirium]

People will wake up once the pictures flow. Folk are like that.

[davkol]

I'd be interested in any thick Cherry keycaps (PBT or POM), even if there are off-center stems.

…and if anyone else's interested, I'll be getting rid of some mice or parts, including an Apple Mighty Mouse PCB + trackball (for this mod).

People expect all the wares available to be in the first post. That is the convention. There are no wares there, and the remainder of the thread is often assumed to be a discussion about wares that have passed on to new owners already.

- G81-3000LGDDE, everything but cable
- 3x G81-1274SPF (Nixdorf green logo), everything but caps

Shipping should be around 15€ for Europe for one board, around 20 for two.

Hi ramnes,

I'm looking for parts to build my own keyboard.
Would any of those have a plate compatible with MX switches?

[davkol]

G81s (and not even all of them) have metal *backplates* with only tiny holes to mount MY switches, not big cutouts.

Ok thanks, that's not what I'm looking after

Someone with a spare ISO enter keycap, MX mount? I need to replace a fat-ass enter... I'll pay for the shipping and a coffee

[andrewjoy]

so you want standard ISO not big ass enter ?

if so i may have one , its only lazed PBT but i think i have one.

Dont get your hopes super high as i don't know if the set was off MX or MY, will check when i get home

I got 2 'Red' ones from SP today .. turned out they were more purple then I expected
DCS ABS in RDE-color

PM me your address and I'll send you one

[jou]

I have a set of German thin PBT lasered caps from a new G80 I salvaged the switches from. I can either send you just the Enter key as tip for your G80-3422LAMIT group buy or you can have the whole set for a small discount on the G80-3422LAMIT.

[acolombo]

Thank you very much guys, dezoe and jou, you have pms

Does anyone have a Cherry black ps/2 cable (coiled) that can spare me?

[HzFaq]

I don't have a coiled one. but I'm pretty sure I've got a straight one kicking around somewhere if that's any good to you?

thanks HzFaq! I was looking for a coiled one since it's to solder on a Dolch keyboard. I saw old Cherry MY7000/8000 caps GBs, where those keyboards had coiled cables. Did anyone entered those GBs or remember the ps/2 cables?

btw, does anyone have a expresscard plastic blank that can spare me?

[scottc]

Prelim, go take a look at the thread that Robin started, he's got loads of G81-7000/8000 cables: for-sale-f55/cherry-ftsc-g81-series-spa ... ml#p349711

[davkol]

I have a bag of internals from ca. 400 clicky Alps-clone switches.

I've tried using the tactile leaves in Alps SKCM Black switches (Dell AT101W) and it was a great improvement in tactility imho; a nice starter mod for someone new to this.

[Prelim]

does anyome have a some linear Gateron new revision switch (KS-8 or KS-9) that might spare? I've read they are less smooth and sound worse than the previous milky ones (KS-1/3?), but I want to confirm that before buying a new pack of Gats.

[cineraphael]

if you still have that Cherry G81 Keyboard, I would like to have it because I want to try a Cherry MY switch

[ramnes]

I promise you, you don't want to try MY switches.

[Cid Fabel]

I promise you, you don't want to try MY switches.

Well, maybe he wants to do the mod where you take out the coil springs. Then MY is not so ultra-bad anymore.
