I'm sure by a very big margin, your keyboard storage is the nicest in the whole universe!

I must say.. impressive collection

You should get some better shelves, those things are awful.

Do you perchance have an heir webwit?

If a bus hits me tomorrow the keyboards will go to sixty.
Unless he was driving the bus.

Bring sixty back instead.

God damn, that is nice, I only have 1 closet

Your storage looks to be about as big as my apartment.

This is very unlikely to happen.

More likely:

- Being run over by a fiets.
- Falling into gracht and run over by a sight-seeing boat.
- Being murdered by the AI keyboard storage and delivery robot.

You, my friend, are insane

this reminds me, i need to organize my stuff

It's like this? (webwit's collection stage 1)

very close,
bought some rigiboxes and it's better now^^

I've mostly stabilized now. Banned paypal/ebay two years ago, since then volume is much lower. This year I plan to trim down a bit on double and less desirable items from my point of view. Not necessarily trash, but I have a few subcollections which are my main focus (IBM & IBM Japan, Ergonomic and Lisp).

i still do my impulse buys on ebay, which turn out rather bad, most of the time.
I gave up on Model Ms only keeping a silver label iso and ansi
and am waiting on a good deal on a model f
alps and its uncountable clones are too much for me, and I don't enjoy typing on them anyway, so I try to stay away from them.
but cherry wise there are still a couple early models left that I want, but I'm in no rush

Some of my top items, either from a collectors point of view or from a daily use point of view.

Cherry V80-5000. Prototype with serial 000001:



Cherry MX-5000 (ANSI winkeyless):


DataHand Professional II (daily driver):


HHKB Professional II (my keyboard on the road):


KPS Prototype Lisp keyboard:


μTRON keyboard (Topre ergonomic):


SEGA IBM/ALPS keyboard:


New Space Cadet keyboard guts (probably my top item):


IBM Japan 5576-003 keyboard:


The Last IBM Space Saving keyboard (NIB):



IBM Model M15 trilogy:


IBM beam spring keyboards:



IBM Industrial Space Saver:


IBM Industrial Model F:


IBM Model M 1388032 (first PC compatible Model M):


Hmm, I probably forgot a few.

Webwit, where do you get those nice cardboard boxes for your collection? I mean the ones that can be seen in your first post. I'm facing the same first stage of my little collection with something pretty similar to your other picture

Got them from here but I'm not sure if Rajapack Spain has the same product available.

Didn't read all the posts so I apologize if someone has ask but if you had to insured it for 100% replacement value, that would you estimate the value at. Interesting since I spent they day looking for affordable home owners / renters insurance. Collectables are difficult to estimate the value of. Please tell me you have proof of ownership and receipts off site.

I don't know, maybe 10 to 15k. 20k if I'd push it. Nothing too dramatic compared to the cost of a car or having a hobby in photography or audio.

same photo in OTD.

we want to see inside of box.

Wow, I agree. Obviously I have no idea What is in the boxes but was thinking 2 or 3 times that amount.

Yes, but one room won't be enough.
More like this^^

Thanks! It seems they don't have exactly the same product, but there are several options quite close to the one you pointed

@webwit

So, let's see how anal retentive you are, are the label actually color coded as it appears they may be and are the labels done on a printer or are they hand written?
