i jut sent him a message asking why they are of different keyboards
Wasn't it John Elliott's 6110344?

yes the seller used that image.

He said he had a stock photo at first and then added photos of his board.

Video editing overlay. Avid's still around, messing up keyboards today:

I had my eye on an AEK II with a set of those caps once. But I don't think they came in PBT…

Ha, funny you should post that. I actually need some keycaps off of it as they should be futaba inverse mx compatible.

This one went really damn cheap. Regretting not picking it up.

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

28 now if my eyes don't deceive! Is Yahoo Auctions like eBay: starting price or higher? Or like a real auction, where the price can go down? Seems like a weak position the seller has, shifting so many at once…

5160 is the model number for the IBM PC XT, not for the Enhanced Keyboard.

Muirium · 11 Feb 2015, 12:06

Call that an XT?

That's an XT!

The keyboard in the auction is definitely a Model M. I don't know much about the IBM PC XT, but I guess an AT protocol Model M keyboard is compatible with it.

I think vsev was referring to the auction which does include an IBM 5160 PC with that 1386303/1386304 Model M. I usually just copy and paste those auction descriptions.

exactly, thank you for pointing that out.

vsev · 11 Feb 2015, 13:39

Sorry for not explaining myself clearly about this, yes was about that auction and keyboard related, thanks for answering right and clear as always !

seebart · 11 Feb 2015, 13:48

I understood you quite clearly, someone else apparently not!

It´s a nice Model M, but it did not come with that Personal Computer originally.

Muirium · 11 Feb 2015, 14:08

Meta misunderstanding!

I don't think anyone didn't understand. We were all simply eager to make clarifications, as though someone else didn't!

HAL · 11 Feb 2015, 17:32

Did anyone say beam spring?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Displaywrit ... 1688090065

I got one from this dude some weeks ago. But this one looks like he cleaned the shit out of it himself. Hence the missing label on top.

seebart · 11 Feb 2015, 17:41

arrgghh...a beam spring shows up and it's the only one I don't want!

scottc · 11 Feb 2015, 18:33

There's no room for pickiness when you're searching for a beam spring! That's how I ended up with a QWERTZ beast.

photekq · 11 Feb 2015, 19:07

I don't see a problem with picking around a displaywriter..

They just don't have that beamspring look

Muirium · 11 Feb 2015, 19:10

Pretty much. If they were the only beamspring, then sure I'd go for one. But the others look so much nicer! The great white has an unappealing bulge to it, and the wall of white caps only makes it seem larger. They're not objectively bad keyboards of course, but they are in direct comparison to their 3276 etc. brothers.

we have 2 A1048 with the video editing caps on them in work, they are the most vile thing in the world

"bitsasd" won't budge on his price, either. I asked.

You don't see NIB 1501s that often..

That HUBUS has lasered caps, despite the article number. Keep away!

Thanks, will edit my post.

Anyone here get the DAS2? I had a cheeky snipe on it but it ended up going quite a bit higher than I thought it would.

photekq · 12 Feb 2015, 22:33

That's quite an expensive shiny DAS II.. I certainly wouldn't pay anywhere near that much

HzFaq · 12 Feb 2015, 23:18

Yup, the final price was more than double my snipe

Will be interesting to see how high this goes.
