Very nice. Ive had a 600 and 7007 before, but the 9009 was new to me...nice finds! There are also QWERTY versions of these caps

Indeed very nice! I have some dyesubs from a TA BSM 100 myself, some day I'll clean them and actually use them, too. Maybe on the FaceU!?
The color combination with the purple mods looks quite interesting, not sure if I like it, but it's interesting. We need some darkish blue mods for these!
If you have some of these doubleshots for sale, I'd love to take a set. Have always been watching these on Ebay, but I didn't want to sacrifice the typewriter behind them just for keycaps. The only one I bid on failed, because the seller threw it away accidentally.

, yeah, the original color of the Triumph Adler Cherry boards of course fits very well. Something like the new Leopold navy blue ones would fit quite nice, too, that's what I was thinking of. Unfortunatly the Leopold set doesn't contain an ISO enter.

Nuum, I have no proof that this is a TA board. The TA 3000 boards are on record, this one isn't.

Oh ok, didn't know that, but it has exactly the same color scheme as the G80-3000 from TA and the typewriters.
Who made the keycaps for the typewriters? They are a little bit smaller than Cherry profile ones and also they don't have the supports around the stem.

Yeah the blue and grey color mix of TA is so nice. Also anyone know when these typewritters were manufactured? I find these keycaps are a bit smaller than those of Cherry keyboards (or now GMK things), the double-shot mold is quite diferent also.

All edits are tracked in the History for each article. I have done the most edits. I copied the list from the Geekhack Wiki, and then added a typewriter now and then when I've seen threads like this one.

Saw this on the Swedish site blocket.se might also be dyesubs, altought the wiki says yellowed keys have been spotted, and pbt don't yellow.

The 100 is the same as the Cyclo in the OP. Not Cherry and pad printed.

you can tell by the look of the keycaps, they have round corners bottom. But I wonder who made those too because the legend look much like what we call "Cherry legends"

Those are often called "Amstrad" switches because the same switches were found in Amstrad computers, but I wouldn't think that it was Amstrad who made them.
Of the Gabriele line, only those from the 7007L are known to be MX-compatible.

Shit typewriters. Good keycaps, though.

How does the color of the keycaps of the TA Gabriele 9009 C compare to Cherry dyesubs/doubleshots? They seem to be almost the same color as the black on white/beige ones.

What do you mean? They are smaller in what way? The top-typing surface?

Got something new for the wiki to complete
wiki/Triumph-Adler:
Triumph Adler SE 515
keycaps back:
So it would be : (Cherry MX-compatible) - Blue on white/beige/grey whatever that color is
- Dye-sublimated

No scoops or homing in the keys? It seems that there are no scoops in any of the TA keycaps.

Here's another colourscheme of the 9009 that I didn't even know existed. Blue on grey with the same lovely typewriter profile. I hope the caps are not yellowed too badly and clean up after an ultrasonic bath when they're here.

Oh that is nice. I can imagine that unyellowed it would have a nice clean modern look.
I have a set of those in dark brown and I got a plate cut, but I goofed on the bottom row and I haven't had the patience to take the dremel to it or the money to just order a replacement.
