Twas a bright and sunny day in keyboard land, and not a bid was had. The heat was blazing.

I thought Nixie refers to the switches, not the keycaps. What are Nixie caps?tentator wrote: ↑Do you suppose me to melt the keycaps with my soldering iron???

ah ok now I got your point.. nixie switches.. I was referring to nixie caps which indeed seem quite unique to me so that term should also possible to be used or do you know about other similar shaped ones with that nice round "dig"?
In the end I do really like the caps sound, feel and them being "shiny" and grey.. only issue is the germany layout.. what a pity no ansi.....

There are no "nixie caps", I guess you mean these from the Nixdorf CT06-CT07/2 M Softkeys keyboard?
wiki/Nixdorf_CT06-CT07/2_M_Softkeys
Of course you can refer to them that way if you like.

That's a bit tempting, although I already own two P70s, three would be truly approaching hoarder levels. Only $20 shipping to me, no idea how anyone'd pull that off without a loss as it costs almost that to mail a keyboard.E3E wrote: ↑If anyone wants some interesting Alps-compatible key caps or wants to try some Alps Plate Spring switches (and get the entire computer the board was designed for!):

BTW, that Zenith should be rubber dome, yeah. It's the 101WN Honeywell dome model I think.

I love the "Urine" key on that aircraft carrier.
That wrist rest might be breadly if you have small children. They'd try to eat it and get sick; they'd be stuck loafing around for a while and get doughy. It'd certainly get a rise out of you, then.

I got counteroffered on this at $43, probably Cherry based on the LEDs and keycaps. Not sure though. You could probably get it for $40.

Ahh, you have to love autobidding bots, seriously. Blue Alps listings will NEVER go for any sane price because of insane people and their auto-snipes.
Can't wait to see final prices for ohai's DC-3014, the 3014, Chicony, AT101 lot, and... was there one more?

That Focus was damn cool. I'd have offered $150 for it because of its historical value -- it's like the missing link! I do hope that my 3014 hits $250...E3E wrote: ↑

Also, the Tracor probably has MX Blacks. I'm selling the miniature version of it in my auction. The caps on mine are doubleshots with brown legends.

The fact a rusted out FK-2001 went for $360 over this much higher quality board with the same layout is laughable. A damn travesty.ohaimark wrote: ↑ That Focus was damn cool.
