Those Cherry B80 are indeed interesting, they probably have M7 Switches, like my B65.

What the …?

It appears to be a rebadged Acorn BBC Master Compact with all-white keycaps. Never seen one of those before.

Keyboard is likely to be domes:

Ah, interesting, confirmation that the membrane RT-10x did indeed become RT-6xxx.

M9 indeed. One of those things I'd be tempted to snap up if I used eBay, though what I'd with 800 bleeding switches I have no idea. Ten would be plenty.

I'm curious what the writing says on it. I wasn't aware that anyone ever rebadged the Master Compact. (Whoever they were, clearly didn't see any need to do anything about that silly key with the squares on it.)

The seller says he bought it in the Italy in the early 80s. He also has a complete computer attached to it.

Are we at least allowed the auction URL?

Also, unless that's a keyboard disguised as a Master Compact, that is the computer.

Ah, Italy … duh, that would make it an Olivetti:

I've just bought one of these packets. Will presumably take a week to arrive at my door.
If you're interested in a batch of 10 or so, drop me a message.

just a quick reminder that the complete SGI linked a while back is gonna end in 2h. figured this is rare enough that it deserves a "bump".

A Model M Bigfoot? http://www.ebay.com/itm/251690785334

I didn't think such a thing existed. I'm tempted to buy it because it is rare. Maybe they made a mistake on the label?

I seriously doubt that,it could be that the later revisions of the bigfoot were indeed M´s. It´s super rare anyway, and NIB!

It´s got a Lexmark sticker on the back from 1996!

If all that is true that would make it one of the rarest M´s!

It has part number 4176191, which is supposed to be a Model F. Perhaps there was a mix-up on the labeling somewhere.
