Thanks a lot for sharing and your generous offer to proxy, Mu! I asked the seller about shipping to Germany, if (s)he doesn't I will involve you. If you can even try it out with your Soarer converter, all the better!

lcg · 11 Sep 2013, 23:07

Did anyone here buy it? Looks like it sold for the asking price.

Halvar · 11 Sep 2013, 23:25

Yes, I did more or less buy it, but the seller still has the chance to refuse to sell it to me because of Deutschland.

Muirium · 11 Sep 2013, 23:50

Ah, that explains it. Best of luck. And I totally have an RJ45 equipped converter ready if you do need my proxy. Don't let it slip!

Wonder what switches it has. Peter once pointed me to an American PC/AT clone that had space invaders. Expensive though (with shipping) so I let it slip.

The seller just answered. Seems like he has no problem shipping to me directly. So I'm pretty excited, and now looking forward to my first bolt mod probably ...

I'll post photos when I get the package.

So much for the SSK Mini Euro tour…

How much did you offer for it, may I ask?

Halvar · 12 Sep 2013, 20:58

I felt that placing bids wouldn't get anyone anywhere with this, so I paid the full asking price. I think it's called a self-fulfilling prophecy or something like that.

Muirium · 12 Sep 2013, 21:17

A fair price for an SSK, however you look at it. Hopefully it's in working order too.

input · 12 Sep 2013, 21:24

Nice Halvar, look forward to the photos..

Is there much difference between the terminal SSK and the regular one, apart from the RJ45.

The case looks different but that could be the angle.

case is the same. only controller and some of the keycaps are different (terminal specific keys and the missing printings for numpad that the normal ssks have)

Broadmonkey · 16 Sep 2013, 22:03

I don't think the first Dolch is worth much. Second one is, though.

pasph · 16 Sep 2013, 23:33

The first is a G84

And this:

Though unfortunately it is not a G80-1800H*U which I am looking for, I believe that 1800H*D are not very common either.

This is a curious device I don't think I have seen anywhere before:

Broadmonkey · 01 Oct 2013, 23:43

I've actually got one of those minicoms, or at least the key caps from it. Odd modifiers but the num row nice as replacement for annoying ANSI legends.
Oh, I bought mine for $15, so 50 is expensive.

Sony BKE-9400A Editing Keyboard for BVE-9100 System

Topre switches according to desc. but not clear if letters on keyboard or just special editing keys?

The picture shows rectangle LED windows on some keys. That means the switch type is Alps. Only round LED windows is Topre switch type underneath. I have 2 Topre (round LED windows) and 1 Alps (rectangle LED windows).

002 · 06 Oct 2013, 02:26

Yep - definitely not Topre. I think they use Omron sliders.

Here's a Realforce 23UB -- pretty rare and I know there's at least 2 geekhackers that were ravenous for them at one point:
