Great/Interesting Finds

[kint]

This IBM 6150 Tektronix 119-2468-01 Tastatur has been on ebay before, same seller who sold the Tandon cherrys maybe 2 months ago. I have no clue whether that boards is interesting though, but it has an integrated pointing device, starting 15€.

This Sehbehinderten-Tastatur Cherry G84-4100 seems to have custom engraved black ML keycaps with (colourful) infill. This is not your average big letter lasered G83 from ebay, seller claims this was custom made for 180€ which ain't that far of a stretch as medical devices go for horrendous prices. Starting 1 €.

In case this interests anyone:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261086844783 — Rare Early Syntrex 31003-M01 Keyboard CLICKY!!

I don't know whether that's literal "clicky" (clicky Key Tronic switches do exist) or whether it's just a linear board.

Yes, I was just going to say it looks like linear Keytronic. I thought the price was for both keyboards, but it's just for one. I remember when old incompatible keyboards were considered junk and sold for $5 or less. Now every unusual keyboard is $60 to $200. At least he's selling it for less than the other one on eBay right now:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SYNTREX-31003-M ... 0380756369

It looks like it's a word processor keyboard from the mid 80's. The layout is interesting for the time, with inverted "T" arrow keys and Code keys. The layout looks quite useable - except for that paragraph key where left shift should be. I'd actually want this keyboard if it was much cheaper and/or newer. Coming from a technical college where I'm sure it had much use, the foam pads are probably crushed and useless.

please don't fight:

some translation that might get lost upon autotranslate otherwise:

* Item condition "new, other" - not new
* detachable cable PS/2
* in an original keyboardbox from another keyboard, not in its original box - could also mean in a Cherry box, better ask.
* condition "as new", "can't tell whether it had been used", "looks as new in very good condition, flawlessly working "
* you can ask for more pics.

Is this any good? http://www.ebay.it/itm/tastiera-olivetti-/201023620882

I read somewhere that all ANK keyboards are rubber, is that right?

[pasph]

Right

It is quite likely, the case even looks very similar to the ones of other space invader boards I have/had. I would not be surprised it has been also manufactured in Thailand (I guess MNB had there their facilities). If so, it would have very nice and thick dyesub PBT caps.

Right, but also a very decent rubber one. It is a shame because the quality and look of those keyboards are very good (even the feeling).

Whatever it is, please tell the seller to pack the box into a box, so it gets not further damaged!

I wish they would've kept the beautiful blue dye-subs from the ANK 25 for the ANK 27, but none-the-less still a beautiful board This is my daily driver at home at the moment: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Olivetti_ANK_25-101

This Marquardt Mini-Ergo did not sell for 70€, not for 60€, now the seller again reduced the price and wants 50€ for it:

Interesting find, an industrial SSK on eBay. Interesting in the sense that I'm really curious about the final price.

[Muirium]

Could use a clean, as always. What's with all these lazy sellers?

Then I noticed it was originally listed for $40! He didn't know what he had. Look in the bid history to see when the big boys showed up. Went straight from 100 to 400.

[guilleguillaume]

Just WOW! Still have 8 days left and reached 455$

[Muirium]

I think it'll go for $666. And maybe a few cents.

[webwit]

Cue to shameless webwit flaunting.

[mr_a500]

That's just shameless. You have no shame. What a shameful display of shamelessness.

[webwit]

Your username keeps distracting me. Now I just want to play Great Giana Sisters.

[scottc]

Shameless!

EDIT: Daemon Raccoon tells me that this Model M is a rubber dome.

On another note, NIB Model M on eBay:
