Great/Interesting Finds

[seebart]

that Chicony 5192 is a good deal except you don't know what switch you are buying.

Specific switches confirmed found in KB-5191 and KB-5192 keyboards:

Mitsumi miniature mechanical, Cherry MX keycap mount, PCB switch mount[1][2]
Cherry MX mount Futaba clicky switch[3]
Aristotle Cherry MX clone[4]
Cherry MX Blue[5]

What the...

I'm suprised the seller did not adjust the price according to the model number...5000

[Redmaus]

Is this switch a good find? Brown tactile alps. Most amazing tactile bump I have ever felt.

SUPREME BUMP

I also have a few other boards I would like to show you guys. I was busy this weekend

[Redmaus]

Here is a numpad with alps clicky switches. Best switches for a numpad, in my opinion. I really like making calculations on it.

[seebart]

brown Alps are somewhat rare IMO. So yes a pretty good find. But you know Redmaus this thread is more about the links you find...

[scottc]

Yeah, share them in the Keyboards -> Photos section if you've got something interesting of yours to show us.

Ah. okay. Well I am planning on selling a few boards I got over the weekend here on DT. How do you recommend I do it? Just make a thread in the marketplace? I am not sure of the price on two of my board that I got.

yeah sure, think about your prices beforehand though. Or ask us what it may be worth in the "[Help] Price Check: How much is my _____ worth?" thread.

That's awesome! I would love to get my hands on some of those switches someday. What keyboard did you find them on?

An old videowriter keyboard. These switches are amazing! There is also a locking key for caps lock and a few linear alps switches on the top of the board. If you want the switches cooldiscretion, I am selling them like I said before

Various winkeyless beauties:

Anyone, please ID the "ergonomic" keyboard on the front. Thanks.

[HzFaq]

No idea, the two directly behind it are pretty nice though; looks like a HAD maybe and a model M.

[scottc]

Definitely a Model M. Behind that, the other board looks like a Cherry too. The board with the dust cover looks like an Alps board I've seen before. High Screen on the right, Alps too?

Chicony 5192

Apparently someone bought it just a few minutes after you had posted it here.
Surely a coincidence

It was me, thanks for the tip, ramnes!
I'm hoping for Futaba clicky switches, but every other switch would be neat, too!

[photekq]

Here's a really rare one.

You do not see black winkeyless casings every day

I'm sort of regretting posting this now.. I think I want to bid on it

Can someone with better eyes than me tell if that's A-profile or not? Perhaps someone who speaks German could contact the seller and ask for a picture that would show it better. If it's A-profile.. I wants

[IvanIvanovich]

Looks like A profile to me, the front edge of the Alt appears to be above the spacebar not lower as it would be on B profile.

[HzFaq]

Looks A to me. I thought you already had a set of those?

[photekq]

Looks A to me. I thought you already had a set of those?

Yeah, but incomplete No numpad keys.

Also yellowed and shiny.

What I'd really love is a set with English legends.

Who got it? http://www.ebay.de/itm/391095769060 (G80-3000HFMDE with 1,25 doubleshot mods)

[Bitsquid]

Not me. My max bid was 43€... I guess I'm too stingy for this hobby. And the winner has 73727 ebay stars.

NIB Soviet keyboard. "vintage soviet keyboard AT XT NOS NIB sealed 5 pin"

http://www.ebay.com/itm/231525398596

Could be anything! I see a metal plate and signs of plate mounted switches so it looks promising. I'll find out in a month.

That word on the back beginning with K looks a lot like the Polish word "klawiatura", meaning keyboard. Unfortunately, that isn't exactly illuminating but maybe it would save someone spending time looking for a meaning!

[XMIT]

Yup. "ПЭВМ" means "personal computer". The text on the back translates to Keyboard PC "Omega".

The second photo has some paperwork that is hard to read because it is upside down, behind some plastic and in Russian (or Ukranian?). At least two of these things are fixable.

[IvanIvanovich]

Watch it turns out to be Soviet clone of Cherry MY

the Soviet clone might be better than the original!

[scottc]

Then the caps would be MX compatible! Sounds like a win to me.

Could be Stackpole, Keytronic foam and foil, ITW magnetic valve, vintage Alps, or hall effect. Who knows! I've asked for a key switch photo.

It is in Canada so maybe mr_a500 can tell us.
