Great/Interesting Finds

Huh? That's not an AT! It's just a regular Model M.

[seebart]

I know, I just copied the sellers text. Another case of false info´s.

It's not, you can tell it by the 1.25 unit F-row keys.

I knew something was wrong there, thanks for clearing that up.

I´m not sure if this is the real thing.

It's not, you can tell it by the 1.25 unit F-row keys.

Or the LED-window (Caps Lock).

For those seeking for a Realforce (and this might be old news for which I apologize in advance). I just got my first Realforce and might even write a review, if I decide to procrastinate badly enough.

Verkkokauppa.com are selling white variable weight 105UFW in Fin/Swe layout for just under 110€.

There are two left in the store and I am up for some proxy action if needed.

WOW, gallenos7 that´s a good price for a new Realforce! Nice find! If I did not allready have my 87u I might go for it!

I´d like to read your Realforce review!

[gallenos7]

Thanks for your kind words.

Okay. This is getting silly. Now the price is only 99.90€.

[Candyflip]

Wow now that is cheap.. I love the video of the 360 realforce they put up

[Muirium]

If it was a TKL, and somewhere cheaper to ship out of, I'd be kicking myself. Because I can't afford it anyway! But a great find for locals into full size Topre.

Yes, I have seen this one. Does it have capacitive buckling spring switches like the IBM XT keyboard?

Edit: I found some posts on GH and DT about this board. According to these, the board uses something like Keytronic foam and foil switches, not IBM capacitive BS switches.

[urbancamo]

That question, my dear friend, is one for the Oracle I'm afraid...

[Muirium]

There were non-IBM buckling springs (Alps did it) but I don't think any of them were early enough to be XT layout. Once IBM designed the AT, everyone changed PDQ.

Is anyone interested in something that looks like an IBM AT model F ? There are a few in stock.

It's a poor quality picture but I could try to see them during the WE.

[scottc]

2 euro! I'd almost certainly be interested and I know of at least one other person who would be too.

(paging Dr. wheybags)

[Ichigo87]

I've already send them a message. Apparently it is for real... i should try to go to this place.

[wheybags]

I'd take one if it's 2 euro :p
Anyone in France wanna proxy them?

[photekq]

I would love to get one of those, especially at 2€!

[Ichigo87]

I am gonna ask them pictures and then i will try to go to their shop.

[7bit]

I'm in for one as well.

[jeff]

I already ask for pictures and planned to go there. The man told me he has 40 of them. If we are two for proxy it will be easier.

[wheybags]

40 holy shit

[Laser]

I'm in for one also !

[BlueBär]

Absolutely want one!

[Nuum]

Would be in for one, too! What an awesome find.

[Ichigo87]

you're too enthusiastic, model F are rare in France, it is really weird to sell them for this price.

[Sayso]

Up for one too

[photekq]

40!? Yes, yes, yes! I want one for sure!

[jeff]

In order to stop the pollution this thread I opened the page http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/ ... t7883.html

I will check quality and qty as soon as possible.

Another?

edit - Same seller, I guess he's drip feeding them. Much higher starting price this time too...

Got it thanks to Bluebär!

This looks interesting:

(I'd get it if I was in the UK, but I think shipping to Canada would be monstrous.)

This is interesting too - Honeywell hall effect:
