Great/Interesting Finds

[HzFaq]

Looks like an Apple collector is cashing out, there's some decent stuff in there; few AEKIIs, an AEK and 3 M0116s.

edit - I'm going to stick a cheeky snipe on that AEKI.

[andrewjoy]

good luck with the AEK1

if you change your mind i will go for it

[Muirium]

Nice list. And quite a few ANSI boards for an English collector. Wonder what brought those over. Usually, only keyboard guys like us would ever even notice!

The guy's shipping is crap though. He does fee pickup in Dorset. Anyone up for a drive and mini GB?

Peacock branded Cherry G81 with MY switches:

I know the bottom row has a very high possibility to have off centered stems, but it seems to be free.

G80-3000 HED (vintage clears? Expensive?)
If you tell me it is not expensive, then I'm going to give it a try
Also, the F6 key is crooked, so the switch or the keycap stem may be broken

[guk]

Both cherries on ebay are too expensive. And don't really expect the 1000HAD to come cheap.
Also, the last one must've been posted three times by now. >.<

www.ebay.de/itm/381318378770 potential Yellow Alps with LEDs donor board

[photekq]

Uh.. I would really like to get the PCB or switches from that HED.

No money..

[Blaise170]

Man I'd love to get that board if it has yellow Alps but no shipping to the US.

[derzemel]

Would you look at this!
A BULL branded AT101:

[seebart]

Apparently there are quite a few differently branded AT 101's.

[XMIT]

I've never seen one with a Big Enter. Are you sure that isn't a Chicony board of some sort?

[derzemel]

I've never seen one with a Big Enter. Are you sure that isn't a Chicony board of some sort?

Well, the case is very similar to an AT101 one, but it might as well be a Chicony too

[seebart]

True. Probably something else.

It's probably a non-Dell Alps Bigfoot model. Specifically, a Bull KBU 1971. See here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45 ... msg1197971

Should be black Alps - probably the early version.

[Blaise170]

The line on the top looks Chicony to me.

You mean the 5161? No, that has a simpler shape without the things at the side.

Triumph Adler Gabriele 9009, for free:
http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeigen/s ... 7-226-3457
nice mx compatible keycaps, the description says with russian/german keyboard, but I cant see any cyrillic letters.
Sad thats only pickup (I suspect that, because it is for free and shipping would be a lot of hassle for the "seller").
Maybe somebody from Berlin can proxy for me, because I own a similar set in grey and had build a costum keyboard with it and some black mods would be nice.

[XMIT]

Who was interested in those Cherry num pads? If you're still interested please send me a PM, just in case I am able to work something out. Chances look good.

IBM Model F AT

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Vintage-ibm-keyb ... 2802cd4672

Phew! I won that Model F PC AT at a price I'm really happy with.

[derzemel]

Congratulations

Hopefully you didn't have to sell a kidney to cover the shipping from US to Canada

[JanitorJoe]

Nah I saved my kidney to pay for the currency conversion.

$1.31 CDN for $1.00 USD right now when it was $1.04 CDN for $1.00 USD a year ago.

[derzemel]

$1.31 CDN for $1.00 USD right now when it was $1.04 CDN for $1.00 USD a year ago.

That's a steep increase.
4 Years ago I lived for 3 months in Toronto on a job assignment. One of the things that I found surprising was the fact that some shops and pubs accepted payment in USD because the difference to the CDN was oscilating between 0 and 1 cents (practically equal in small amounts)

$1.31 CDN for $1.00 USD right now when it was $1.04 CDN for $1.00 USD a year ago.

As an Aussie, I feel your pain. It was only 2 years ago when our Dollar was the same as the US

The Euro also isn't what it used to be :'(

[Muirium]

Neither's the pound. Or the Yen. Or anything I've dealt with recently.

Almighty dollar! You would have thought a democratic president would be smarter than to let the dollar get so strong (strong dollar sweetens imports against domestic goods, and punishes American exporters) but that's what we've got now in a big way.

[Chyros]

My pounds are buying many euros though ^^ . Not that I'll have many left when I'm done here, but at the moment euro things come cheap!

[Muirium]

Yeah, the Euro's worse. (Duh. Behold the savagery unleashed on Greece! Who's next?) But my pounds are buying few dollars these days too. Hierarchy.

I'm looking to try trackball at the moment. Does someone recommend me one of those for the price? (I read Kurk's review and it seems to be a good trackball...)
