http://www.ebay.de/itm/251792477518 the not that common Gabriele 7007, keycaps are mx compatible doubleshots (mx mount confirmed, ds not yet) and should look nice after some retrobrighting.

Spoiler:

Sorry for taters.

Is every image host in Germany run by the same guy? They're so icky. That one was opening up tabs of ads on iOS Safari. Blech! Abload, pic-upload, *.de!

I don't like Flickr or the various *bucket hosts either, as their JavaScript makes viewing the picture up close an artificial pain in the jacksie. But these guys take the cake and shove it.

Sorry, wouldn't know about that. Adblock doing its job I guess. If you can recommend a better option, I'll use that.

I host everything right here on DT. Probably not a great idea if you're mirroring other people's images, though. Then probably best to use Imgur.

Any better now?
Only using pictures I made myself, as a result I have to keep on apologizing for their uhm quality.

[Muirium]

Much better!

no but there`s a ton of them out there and after years of using adblock I often don´t remember how shitty all those pop up`s are either.

[guk]

I'm guessing it's a [wiki]Monterey K208[/wiki] variant, and the keycaps should therefore be Alps mount.

[gogusrl]

This ended up way lower than I expected. NIB Industrial is a pretty rare sight even if it's a regular model M.

if its the beige version of that then its nasty, if it is the older one its not bad for a dome.

I guess it's the older one - the IBM logo is on the other side.

US http://www.ebay.de/itm/261761512040 Should be the NMB slider version as the back looks light. http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/hhk ... ml#p206607

Some guy is selling four NISSHO KB106DE boards (Topre Hi-pro) on Yahoo Auctions:

Edit: Few more appearing now from the same seller. Looks like some data entry outfit has probably packed up shop.

[gogusrl]

Do we have someone here who could bid on them ?

[002]

Sorry, yeah - I keep forgetting that not everyone will know
There are other proxy bid sites. I really like buyee.jp. There's an 'English' link in the top-right. You can do snipe bids, revalue your packages, pay with PayPal or Debit/Credit card. They'll hold your items for 60 or 90 days (can't remember which) and you can consolidate multiple items and apply protective packaging. Never had any problems with them.

[IKSLM]
