Great/Interesting Finds

The 386er lot keyboard looks like a Focus variant, so I'd say it has Alps.

No idea about the bank terminal, though.

Not Focus-y enough IMO, at least I don't recall any focus keyboards using a stepped capslock key

Wow, m0118 among those Apple boards may be the most yellowed keyboard I've ever seen. It's almost like someone painted it bronze.

I can't find anything related that model number, wonder if it's a rubberdome.

For the brave explorer, it has an AT compatible keyboard from Taiwan from +- 1987 (Big Ass enter), but I don't know which switches:

Is the next keyboard an alps one with a psn connector?

alh84001 · 20 Oct 2016, 00:12

It should have pine SKCM Blacks.

armatus · 20 Oct 2016, 06:32

I bought my brother one of those Alps ergo boards for his birthday, and he loves it.

hypkx · 20 Oct 2016, 14:38

probably Alps mount keycaps. I shot a offer, he wants minimum 19€

Someone listed the board from a Bondwell with MX Dark Blues:

Price is not great but it may go down, yet.

atrere · 21 Oct 2016, 04:09

I picked up the Bondwell along with a busted up Model F Bigfoot. Both should make for very interesting projects, and I couldn't ignore the rarity.

XMIT · 21 Oct 2016, 04:16

elecplus has a Bondwell board like that (I know because it was sitting in my shed for a while). She was saving it for seebart IIRC.

He just increased the price from 90 to 150

I was saving my shekels for that one

alh84001 · 21 Oct 2016, 17:57

There are three, so I wouldn't despair. And you can always make an offer

GREEDbay.

Same seller has 4 x SGI Granites (9500900) for sale at $60 apiece. I'm not in the U.S., but that seems like a decent deal. I wouldn't mind those keycaps myself

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SGI-Silicon-Gra ... 2160422376

seebart · 21 Oct 2016, 23:31

$60 is OK for a SGI Granite.

He sold one for $90 after it had been listed quite a while and after rejecting a lower offer from me. Apparently, seeing that it finally sold, he decided to increase the price to see what the market would bear.

I would be inclined to go for the Granite 9500900 for $60, because unlike the 041-0136-001, which is for an SGI computer only, the 9500900 is PS/2 and can be used with any modern computer. The 9500900 is not new, but the caps are PBT and will clean up nicely.

seebart · 21 Oct 2016, 23:45

Right, always look at the part numbers with the SGI's, not all are PS/2. We have that covered here:

wiki/SGI_Bigfoot_series

Scarpia · 21 Oct 2016, 23:54

I'd nab one of those at $60 if they were in the EU, but shipping+import taxes would add another $100 on top of the price. I'd gladly pay for the keycaps though, if someone should choose to buy one just for the switches.

seebart · 22 Oct 2016, 00:04

PM'd Scarpia!

I got one of the used ones at 60, and the alphas are actually quite shiny. I wouldn't be so sure of the quality.
