white on black cherry doubleshots on a MX 11900. Title says clicky, not sure if clears http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cherry-Keyboard ... 1665330181

[HzFaq]

Almost 100% sure they're not clears, every 11900 I've had (and I've had a few) has had blacks.

[HzFaq]

Also, not all that interesting and pretty expensive but this Dolch is 10 minutes down the road from where I live.

Right, 11900 always* have MX blacks from the factory. Reasonable enough deal on it though for doubleshots.

I found some information. This announcement states that the 4683 terminals attached to 5170 AT's and mentions an 84-key keyboard (I'm guessing Model F AT). This later announcement mentions the keyboard in question by part number and states that its planned availability date was September 25, 1987. Based on the planned availability date, I would guess that keyboard is a Model M or hybrid Model F/M. It seems like IBM designed this keyboard to be an optional upgrade for the Model F AT's that were being used with 4683 terminals at the time. It's also interesting to see that this keyboard was $490 in 1987.

Something Cherry-ish, what else?

But I still have to receive it, of course.

[scottc]

Of course! That's why I was shocked when it was posted after the IBM ad. I'm interested in details.

Might take a few years, I'm afraid.
Especially in that price category

[photekq]

I'm interested in details.

You can't have any!

We're keeping the model a secret in order to maintain a monopoly over it

[HzFaq]

Cherry Mafia hard at work .

there are no secrets here! Not even the Cherry Mafia can keep details secret.

[kbdfr]

[…] But I still have to receive it, of course.

I'll first disclose it when I have it here.
Don't expect anything really stunning, though. It's just an interesting find

Do you find these all manually or do you have saved searches on Goodwill?

Are those vintage DSA on the Epson HX 20?
