Great/Interesting Finds

[Nuum]

That is interesting, it has MX compatible keycaps and Cherry M8 switches. The other keyboards are nice, too!

[IvanIvanovich]

Looks like a G80-0662 with higher profile keycap.

[Muirium]

ESDX!

[facetsesame]

Hm, I have a new old stock Mitsumi version of that available, complete with locking Alpha Lock key.

Nice colour. But no Helvetica!

[mr_a500]

The black (keycap) vintage T ALPS version of that is the best one. I'd love to find one NOS.

PCB of the keyboard with the beige case says Cherry on the back. Maybe thats interesting... http://www.ebay.de/itm/Posten-Tastature ... 1339477819

The hall effect from 1972 is much more interesting, especially for people in europe where they are more rare.


here's the descripotion in German:
Uralte Tastatur von 1972, wurde ehemals von einem Funkamateur für einen Baudot-Geber umgebaut.
Nur noch Tastetenmechanik

Keycaps make is similar to that telex hall effect KB communistwitchdoctor found. Likely gold pins on a ceramic IC in there.

also check this hand-wired TI99/4A

This one has futaba linears.

The real prize, IMO are those 2 huge siemens keyboards. note 4 pins / switch likely either reeds or halls.

Whoever gets this please take a ton of pictures and post them so I can live vicariously through them.

The Commodore board is interesting. Although the description mentions the 64, I believe it's actually from the 16/116/whatever they called it in Europe, the unsuccessful incompatible replacement for the VIC-20.

I just got one of these, genuine Cherry DS with clear switches. The keyboard is on a seperate PCB, connected to the main board with a ribbon cable so I guess could be broken out into a stand alone board (if you can live with the nuts layout ). Looks like a couple of vintage PDA nuts got in early so it might be quite expensive, I paid just over £30 for mine.

I don't know anything about it but may be something for example mr_a500?

I think it's the "normal" version with Mitsumi switches.

If anyone wants some Swedish keycaps to make thier keyboard look like this

Spoiler:

(foxtrott's image)

then there's an auction on tradera with starting bid 100SEk and 4 Hours left for this Gabrielle 9009

Spoiler:

http://www.tradera.com/item/1607/216437 ... krivmaskin

NOOOOOOoO!
I missed that!
And there is no way to contact the seller after the auction ends... I want those!

EDIT: I found this on another listing site:
http://m.blocket.se/sodermanland/Elektr ... ?ca=11&w=3
It says another model number, but the caps seems to be the same?

[xwhatsit]

Holy balls, is this someone we know? He certainly has good taste, although his prices may need a bit of negotiation (unless people really want a Kishsaver or 77-key beamspring!):

Wow, that's expensive! $1200 buy it now kishy...

Seller being a bit of an opportunist. They do seem to be nice, but come on.

The prices are ridiculous. Maybe it's someone sorting out Cindy's warehouse deals? (username austin...)

Ah, it's a GH user:

Code: Select all

I'm selling all of my boards as I've a got unique opportunity lined up. Additionally I no longer have the space to display these and won't be able to for the next few years. Rather than have them sit in storage I'm selling them off to people who might appreciate them more. 

Most of my price's are pretty fair. The Kishsaver is priced at a premium because:

1: I don't really want to sell it that badly.
2: I think it's worth that. Explanation:
    - I sold my M15 for $600 and this is rarer and more desired than an M15

I don't wish to cause any strife or drama and I'm not, generally profiting from any of this. Just getting back what I initially paid. The kishsaver is the only one on which I'll probably profit.

I am going to continue to use ebay for all of the sales because I enjoy the sense of security that is provided to both seller and buyer.

Sorry to get you all so worked up :P

[snoopy]

That Kishsaver price...

[sero]

His reasons for the price are right out of the ole flipper handbook.

[REVENGE]

These prices aren't ridiculous.

[Madhias]

These prices aren't ridiculous.

Not all, that's true.

[seebart]

Even if the kishy were NIB unused, 1200 would be somewhat steep. We have all seen those industrial ssk's for a grand. I wonder if they ever sell? But there are always people with cash to spend who do not care. Trying is no crime. If that's what he paid, he paid too much![emoji12]

[beltet]

He says as well that he really doesn't want to sell it. But he is willing to sell it at the right price. And he believe that the right price is quite high. If someone wants to buy it at that price it's up to them.
