No idea if that's anything good, it looks a little like the 5700 with a led hole and Siemens/Nixdorf badge though...

edit - googled the part number and got some more pictures and a GH thread. My German isn't good enough to find anything about the switch type though.

It's the companion numpad to the Fujitsu/Siemens ergo board... the domes twin of MX5000

iam bidding on the IBM XT

And did you get it? I wanted to bid on that one too, but as you said you want it i didn't.

[seebart]

it went for something around € 62 which is OK for an XT.

And the curiosities of the day (from Russia):

Siemens Simatic 670C keyboards:

https://www.avito.ru/samara/oborudovani ... _558210531

These should be about 35 years old. They were made to be used in a rough and dusty environment. Switches and key caps are from RAFI, presumably RS74M. The switches are under a foil, with adapters that punch through it. The keyboards used to be attached to their main units by 50-lead ribbon cables.

Impressive OleVoip. On that one picture it looks like there are some caps missing. Too bad. Not really a problem if someone buys both.

*Sigh*.........
I wish there was more AT to go around. XT/Bigfoot layout is just a little too weird for me. The AT is almost exactly like standard Model M, especially once an ANSI mod has been applied. But I suppose it's just a rarity.
I may as well wish for a Kishsaver, Unsaver, and F77 while I'm at it.

Hi guys, I found a huge lot of Focus FK-2001 with Type OA2 Alps clones. I have already sent a message expressing interest to the ebay seller. Apparently these are new in the box FK-2001s with a Portuguese layout. If anyone would be interested in these, I'm thinking that a group buy could be done. Link is in Spanish but is easily translated.

[seebart]

That's a pretty sweet price, even with those OA2 Alps clones. It's the FK-2001 with win keys. I paid much more for my NIB FK-2001.

[guk]

Those have been around for more than two years, but it's good to bring attention back to them.

[HzFaq]

I'm half tempted to get one to kill for hasu's Alps 60%...the caps are much nicer than the ones on my manky old Dell. If it wasn't £12 shipping for a £9 board I probably wouldn't even think about it .

[photekq]

Who got this one!?

My max was £75..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cherry-MX-Blu ... 7675.l2557

I need those winkeys..

[Chyros]

Are these actually OA2s btw? Because the colour looks more like that of a Mantis clone I found in my FK-8000. Their construction is much less faithful to the Alps design Tha IA2s are and consequently they don't feel as nice IMO.

Very good point. I could not tell you, I've never seen a Mantis clone for real.

Yeah.

Try checking or asking around on GH. These days it seems like all the competition and upbidding comes from there. Folks there don't seem to check over here. But if you announce that you want something over there I think that is respected. Hope so anyway.

Definitely. As I said over on GH, I typically don't come on this forum too often. Regardless, the two forums are two of the few that exist for this niche and for that reason I believe that everyone respects each other enough that we have no problem getting stuff going or backing off to keep prices low for everyone.
