Cherry "CSC" [G81-3006HCG]
Posted: 22 Dec 2023, 20:45
Here's a unicorn I picked up last year. Huge thank you to chorb for pointing me in its direction.
Right off the bat, despite the fact there is no branding anywhere, I'm confident this was made for Triumph Adler (or Olivetti, as they were jointly owned at the time). I say this due to the colour scheme and also due to the "CSC", which can be seen on other Triumph Adler keyboards [see here for one example].
The part I'm unsure about is: what place did this keyboard have in their lineup? I have to assume, based on datecodes, that this was the predecessor to the G81-3011HAD.
Onto the keyboard itself, it's an odd one. Cherry's incredibly rare 3000 prism-style casing, and a colour-scheme somewhere in between Olivetti's and TA's as shown in the last photo. That combined with a standard colour LED sticker, unlike both TA and Olivetti's keyboards.
