Great/Interesting Finds

[derzemel]

Did you want the whole thing or just the board? Cause the board is heading towards my place right now, but the seller still has everything else.

I was mostly interested in the board too but I was also curios on how the whole thing works.

Enjoy it!

And I had considered bidding on the following one, but well…

[…] Focus 2001:

[HzFaq]

Oh, I was planning on going for that as well....I'll step aside though, 2 boards in a month isn't worth the earache from Mrs Hzza .

[kbdfr]

Just go on, I had considered at first, but then after someone had bid on it
I decided that more than 10.99€ shipped would be too much

Censorship!

We will not have any of that here...

Nixdorf keyboard. MX mount keys but unsure of the switch. http://www.ebay.com/itm/131477705211

Two Model F XTs for 110 USD plus shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/291444985111

Those caps are very familiar, i had a board a lot like this once. The switch is a plunger over dome, with individual rubber domes if it is the same as my board.

Confirmed, see here.

Right. Sorry, all of my "which keyboard is this" memory lately has gone to the hundreds of keyboards in the garage. Those I know quite well at this point.

I had posted it because I thought nobody would be interested in it
considering the price it will probably reach.
I’ll restore the links after the end of the auction.
Good luck, ramnes!

Aha, so /that's/ what the brown clip on the top of the Focus 2001 does! It is for a cover! I have a couple of them in the garage too.

EDIT: Just the keyboards, not the covers! One of the keyboards has one brown clip.

[HzFaq]

Well now there's a pickle....do I go for the German auction or wait and jump in with the sharks...

[kbdfr]

[…] and jump in with the sharks...

Sharks? Mrs Hzza might not be amused:

[XMIT]

Come on in, the water's just fine.

To be fair the German auction keyboard is much cleaner than any of mine!

[HzFaq]

I'll stick a snipe on the auction and if that doesn't work I'll have to get out the shark suit .

@kbdfr, Mrs Hzza has been known to turn into something very similar to a sharklady at times...like the time I told her I'd bought the family a new laptop and produced the Psion MC400 .

Don't tell me you actually did that..

Damage control, man. Damage control.

Yes it's a dust cover. Pretty strange by today's standards.

Yeah, pretty sure I won't get it, but who knows, maybe industry guys will be sleeping.

[Ascaii]

those unicomp boards are a streal, even with 16 pounds shipping to germany. Who would be interested in one of them? I can possible run the group buy, but i would ask for people to cover my board for the trouble of dealing with shipping and everything.

[elRetto]

I'm in!
edit: I'll take two acttually

[andrewjoy]

i am in

[Halvar]

I'm in too, but I'd like a complete one.

[andrewjoy]

same, complete if possible but i think we can make more complete ones by swapping caps

[Ascaii]

alright, ill grab them now. looks like the cost will be about 17-18€ per board plus shipping from my place to you.


edit: bought. time to make a million bucks off you suckers, mwahahaha

[Ascaii]

i suggest people check the sellers other autctions and search for keyboards...isee an access with cherry switches,three devlin boards that might be MX and a neat vintage board with sphericals, as well as a bunch of 122 key boards.
