Great/Interesting Finds

[Volks]

In case anyone was interested, I asked the seller of this board: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 1623451000

About the type of switches it had, and he added some more pictures. It's Micro Switch Hall Effect, and has an inverted T arrow key layout. For $150 it's a bit expensive but figured someone might be interested.

Alright, who bought it? Anyone here?

The keyboard is re-listed:

What are these key switches? I'm guessing Futaba clicky, Cherry MX mount? Someone in Canada please pick this up and add it to the Wiki!

Preh rubberdome, definitely.
The relgendable caps have a plunger acting directly on the dome, while others have (well, or may not have) a small plastic insert (the white thing you see in the pic) to accomodate Cherry compatible caps.

if it only was 10 euro less!
...I was thinking how strong and "anti-dust" and water resistent that switches had to be.

Haven't seen one of these for a while, G80-2551.

[seebart]

whatever that is Anticube it's awesome. Slightly impractical but cool.

Nice G80-2551, that's the sibling of my G80-2100.

[HzFaq]

Slightly impractical being the understatement of the century!

That thing looks badass though, it looks like a prop from a Fallout game .

also it will be slighty on the heavy side to put it mildly. But THE coolest find here in a while for sure.

[HzFaq]

On the plus side, it's very unlikely to be damaged in transit .

right but imagine slapping that on someones desk...BOOM. Pray that desk doesn't break!

[andrewjoy]

it looks like the keyboard part may come off. I smell a mod coming .

not me, although I was thinking about it. I know Ascaii was looking at it too. I'd really like to know what kind of switches are in there.

Scissor switch rubber domes and RS232 interface sadly, but maybe someone will bite. (Switch info based on: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41474.0 .)

looks like RD over slider

[XMIT]

Probably - but which one? Some RDs are better than others (I say as I type this on a Topre).

[Redmaus]

Yeah, it looks like thicker rubber than most. Maybe like a prototopre board?

Here is a beautiful 1993 Kinesis. Looks to be in great condition. Seems pricey, but I think it is actually priced well for a Kinesis. Love the teal caps they used back then. I would pick it up myself, but I just don't have the funds atm. I'm sure those caps would look great on an ergo dox as well. I would love to see someone here get it.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1993-Ki ... 35e85c0f55

[XMIT]

Definitely not prototopre. Definitely a DEC LK401 clone. The CSA number - LR60161 - was a dead giveaway. I'll have to remember this trick next time.

LK401 is one of the worst rubber domes ever apparently.

So it seems like Key Tronic was an OEM/ODM for Digital and Honeywell at the time.

Good to know, I thought about bidding but decided it looked like s rubber dome.

On Blocket in Sweden. Triumph-Adler Gabriele 7007L typewriter.
It should have Cherry-profile keycaps in thick PBT, blue on grey and with Swedish/Finnish layout.

If it isn't sold already. The ad is already a month old and I decided to skip on it myself.

[IvanIvanovich]

I've had one of those Honeywell boards before. It's domes that are very nice, thick, with a distinct tactile 'pop' (at least on the NIB specimen I had). It's assembly is kind of similar of IBM M with a molded 'barrel plate' with the domes sandwiched in between it and a membrane sheets over a concave metal plate. Keycaps should be decent quality PBT dyesubs.
Perhaps one of the higher end Keytronic, though mine didn't have any markings inside or outside to indicate. While it's still a domes board, it is one of the better ones I have encountered.

[XMIT]

Really? I do have an LK401 at home and was not impressed with it. So given that this is basically the same keyboard as the LK401 AFAICT that's what I was expecting. Hmm...
