I know this isn't quite keyboard related.... but if you ever wanted a reel to reel tape of Leonard Nimoy singing, you won't want to miss this:

Spoiler:

The LotR movies were such a disappointment. Where was all the singing? Didn't they read the books?

They could have turned me around if only they'd used Led Zeppelin instead of Enya…

IBM M-122 bolt-mod and Soarer's Converter! Only $150.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Model-M-F1- ... 4d2203e0e4

Not often that you see a bolt-modded M-122 complete with Soarer's Converter installed! Is the seller a fellow Deskthorian by any chance?

[Muirium]

A 122 key Model F would be worth it for the price. But the 122 key Ms are lacklustre, I can say from my own experience. The rollover is horrendous, and trips me up all too often when I use mine. I haven't wasted a Teensy on it!

I haven't yet given any serious attention to an M-122, although I have a few that I got in a batch buy with a view toward using them for keycaps and other parts. I had seen some posts, however, saying that when bolt-modded, the M-122 was a rather decent board. Nevertheless, in my own bit of fiddling with them, I found them to be much less satisfying than regular M-101s or SSKs; in comparison, the M-122s felt cheaply made.

Thus far, in my experience with IBMs, the XT is the one to beat.

A lot of different keyboards. Filco, daskeyboard, G80, etc.

Hey, I thought I was the only one here with a reel to reel:



I don't know if that Spock tape is 10" or 7" though. I can say for sure that I won't be bidding. I don't really want to hear Spock singing.

I really misjudged this one. I thought I would get it for $ 47 or so for sure. 500 !!! For this insane amount of money you can get a real nice keyboard or two.

I hope the other one isn't pink too…

[scottc]

I think the pink is pretty nice, actually! Not quite my style, but I can appreciate it. The colours go well!

Holy shit. Somebody really wants to hear Spock sing. I thought it'd go for $30. I'm sure there's probably another 30,000 unsold copies in a warehouse somewhere.

I must say that pink keyboards are an abomination that must be wiped off the face of the Earth.

[scottc]

Well if you INSIST...

[mr_a500]

Great. Now you have me thinking of that stupid song... "Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins, bravest little hobbit of them all!"

Oh how I curse you.

[scottc]

Hey, it could be worse...

"She came... from... Greece! She had a... thirst! For knowledge."

[mr_a500]

Touché.

[Muirium]

Someone tell me McCoy had a cheesy crooning career too. It must be so!

[mr_a500]

He's a doctor, not a singer, Jim! ... I mean Muirium.

Looks interesting. Close to deadline too...are there still open slots? I would like to get one of these.

http://www.enjoyclick.org/forum.php?mod ... d&tid=7396

It's the Leeku 3000 PCB. It's quite expensive since it's a very small run ($80 per PCB).

Anyone who is interested - PM me. I can help you order.

[bazh]

wow, dat price :'(

[photekq]

wow, dat price :'(

Yeah, it's quite expensive. It is a tiny run though, so it's perfectly justified.

[kbdfr]

ok, I give up, this piece of crap isn't worth big bucks I guess and I can't use this sucker for typing myself either, so if anyone's interested go place a bid it's probably gonna be a bargain: Cherry MX 5000 in mint-condition new set of doubleshots (except space bar): http://www.ebay.de/itm/151370965887

I bet that after it did not sell for €299,90
and after it did not sell for €259,90
now that you listed it with a starting price of €1 it will sell […]

Mr. Chance's G80-5000 + G80-5700 actually did sell for 251,78€,
which is not that much less than his formerly fixed price of 259,90€

[seebart]

..yup, and my bids went down the TUBE...

some kind of ibm stuff... but it´s that goldhamster seller again!

IBM P70/386

[Muirium]

Ah! Beamsprings, plural, in Europe!



I want one of the smaller ones. Can we gather around a German and group buy these, bitte sehr?

[macmakkara]

I want one smaller ones too. Im ok with groupbuying these.

[Halvar]

Oh seebart ...

We planed to bid on this with three nice people from DT, although these boards might be heavily corroded again like the last ones from this seller...

[Muirium]

More than three of us around here want these, evidently!

Precedence to those who haven't already got a beam spring. (Well, if we can put together a bid and don't get hammered…)

[seebart]

you know myself and approx. 6438,22 other people are watching this right?!? If you pm´d me before that would have been different!

Good luck with your bidding.

corroded again like the last ones from this seller...

exactly, very good point!

with three nice people from DT

they are not less nice because of this.

[Halvar]

I don't blame you, seebart, just cussing to myself...

Ok, I'm stepping back, I'm not in that dire need any more ... I hope you find a solution and it goes to some people here.
