I am very much interested in this, as I have been looking for these for a while now, if that is okay with the Great/Interesting Finds Gods.

I'm interested too, but just for one switch for my collection. I won't bid on it but if you get it could I buy one switch off of you?

Absolutely. I am looking for a couple switches I can use as replacements in some of my Clare ape far boards and to simply document the rest. Facetsesame was trying to get in contact with a Clare Pendar distributor in the UK a little while back too...

Those are going to be expensive caps.

god damn early bidders are such imbeciles >_>

Muirium · 13 Aug 2015, 17:25

Somebody probing the reserve, in this case. It's all one bidder.

Leading Edge DC-2014 in what appears to be very good condition! Expensive as always, but if you're looking for some great-quality Blue Alps, this is your chance!

Nice. Northgate keyboards have very nice doubleshots.

Blaise170 · 17 Aug 2015, 05:24

I'm not sure how common these are nor what their value is, but this thing reminds me of an SSK with function row.

An "Unsaver". It would be worth quite a bit if it was buckling spring, but it's most probably rubber dome. $150 is way too expensive in that case.

It looks soooo lovely!

BUT - rubber dome, as confirmed by Geekhack

I think the caps are a giveaway. Their tops are wider and the edges seem more sharply rectangular than buckling spring caps.

andrewjoy · 17 Aug 2015, 11:46

They are suposed to be decent domes. But for that price , errr no thanks

I saw that one a few days ago but the missing keycaps put me off from it.

Either one of these, the Hall Effect variant would be nicer:

Fujitsu Leaf Spring according to this post: http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum ... post249711

That is the Apple adjustable keyboard. The price is too high IMO. But it comes with the wristrests which is nice.

Blaise170 · 17 Aug 2015, 18:18

Yeah I know about the wiki but I didn't want to claim that that keyboard had leaf spring switches without some kind of source. That Apple Adjustable is too high for what I usually see, I've seen them go for around $20 without the numpad.

seebart · 17 Aug 2015, 18:47

Trust me, Apple adjustable never has leaf spring switches! Yeah 20-40 is a realistic price. NIB would be more.

I was referring to the Sanyo.

Right. Sorry.
