It is quite certainly lasered, the original size pic shows the pale lettering and the bar on the Num5 key:

Thin PBT too, hence the bars, not sculptured keys on "F" and "J" and no nub on "5".
Funny though I do have a so branded current modern Cherry G80 from the manufactuer of the PCs case, THEIS computer. Big lasered logo on the cases top above the NUMpad.

I think the Tandon should be 1251SAD.

Uups! I thought so because I couldn't zoom the picture. How did you zoom?

[kbdfr]

[…] How did you zoom?

A fellow DT member (sorry for being unable to give him the credit, I completely forgot who it was ) posted the trick some time ago.
On the auction page, do a right klick on the pic and in the context menu select "View Image".
In the URL, replace the value just preceding .jpg with 10.
If the seller used a bigger pic, the original size will be shown.

Unnecessary to say that the whole procedure is programmed on a single key of my Tipro keyboard

Just an old, used, obsolete keyboard. Nothing to worry about.

Might be looking for a German proxy to see if I can lose a bidding war on two of these in a week

Did you lose?

Didn't ask anyone to proxy. [Thank You for the offer kbdfr!!!!!] Thought it'd go for much more than that. Congrats to the winner! Though I am now starting to feel a bit sad

I was watching this thing:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/321263011258

..but with a couple hours to go, the seller stopped the auction. I thought they couldn't end an auction when there are bids on it. I probably couldn't have gotten it anyway with the extreme shipping, but still...

wow, what a beauty...

I think there's a way out if an item you're selling has just vanished, or if you damaged it so it no longer matches the description, etc. "Sorry, my dog ate the green screen."

[mr_a500]

This happened to me before when a seller cancelled an auction for a 1964 Astro (lava) lamp, just a half hour before it ended. They claimed their dog broke the lava lamp. I didn't believe it, but I did see a picture of their dogs. I convinced them to sell me the bits that didn't break. Damn dogs.

[Muirium]

Dogs and smokers: two of my least favourite things, when you discover that you've just wound up with their stuff. It only takes a moment to know…

[mr_a500]

Smoking dogs are even worse.

some stuff sold were more interesting, these are not original set.
i dont think there are in good condition

This set looks like the original set:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=36017808586

The one photekq linked ( http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=36091150935 ) seems the same but turned into ANSI with few extra caps.

I asked tinnie if these 2 are what he talked about when he made this thread a while ago, but didn't get a reply. I assume they are and thus aren't actually in stock, feel free to correct me though.

I really want a set of these (czech is my language), but it just seems impossible to get :/

possible if u want, but, as I said, I think this ansi layout set is not original, the seller maybe put 2 set together to get those, cause I have never seen ansi layout peacock keyboards

[mm87]

Yes I agree about the ANSI one, thats exactly what I meant. The ISO one in the first link seems like just the original set tho.

And by "possible" do you mean you think the seller actually does have either of these 2 in stock? Because I sure can't tell by just looking at the taobao listings, the stock amount it says just seems like bullshit most of the time.

And yeah they look quite used/dirty, I can't really tell from those crappy pictures if they are shiny though.

[photekq]

I hadn't noticed the iso set until now. That definitely seems like the original set. Might be worth taking a gamble on them considering the price..

it's in stock now, I asked the seller just few days before. But I guess the condition maybe can't satisfy you

[Half-Saint]

Prices on taobao have gone sky high in the last year or so. They also sell more and more frankensteined stuff...

That's a German G80-5000 together with its numpad G80-5700.
It will be interesting to see for how much it sells, since I have the exact same configuration

Anyone interested in my DEC VT52? There's an issue with the CRT, the vertical has gone out. Might be fixable/adjustable (there's a hefty repair manual).

Has sweet doubleshot stackpole keys...

Shipping from US - pretty hard to ship

Cool find! I see that you already posted over at the vintage computer museum.

I'm tempted [but a bit wary of increasing the hobby's space requirements ] and likely heading down to Missouri (but the wrong side of the state though) for the Holidays.
