I don't think I've seen an AT&T keyboard that isn't foam and foil other than than one exception with buckling springs.

Who got this one?

Wasn't me, but I have one with linear Green Alps. Honestly, I can't tell the difference between yellow alps and green alps. There's quite a few vintage Zenith boards with one or the other and they show up once every week or two on ebay it seems.

[Blaise170]

I'm still trying to get some yellow and greens to add to my switch collection. I bought a Zenith numpad and ended up with the loow-profile Alps. >_<

[orihalcon]

There's this one, should have greens, which apparently most users prefer to yellow:

[Blaise170]

Yeah it's definitely Alps judging from the LED cutouts but way too expensive to justify for just one switch. Thanks for the link though.

Nissho KB106DE (Topre 35g)

[Muirium]

Hot damn. That would be a fine keyboard for us to add to the DT touring arsenal. HiPro and 30g Topre!

[ramnes]

Yeah, that a really nice keyboard, and I was really hesitant to get it. But I already have 35g domes (from an other Nissho KB106DE) to put in my FC660C.

[Muirium]

Still got the caps?

[ramnes]

Nop, only got the domes in a trade.

[IKSLM]

[JanitorJoe]

Oh god I totally forgot what time zones were. I wanted to bid on that KB106DE. Next time.

Did someone here get it?

WoB ANSI DS for crazy cheap.

[HzFaq]

They're surprisingly common to be fair, APC is a good brand to look out for if you have a spare mod kit to replace the silly bottom row/right shift.

Leading Edge DC-2014 (blue Alps)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leading-Edge-AT ... 54242025a8

[E3E]

I noticed that DC-2014 earlier. I can't stand the Model F-style layout (forgive my ignorance, but I believe that is what it is based off of), so it'd only be a donor board for me. I'm trying to find a PCB or donor board I can use to replace the broken/bricked PCB in my NTC 6151N which had blue alps. I miss that one a ton.

It'd be good to source for Alps, but whatev. Someone else might really need it right now. I guess I don't need it that much. Little pricy too.

[ramnes]

Just get one of Hasu's PCB. And not that pricey for a blue Alps board.

Edit: aaaaaand it's gone. Who got it?

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for the tip!

EDIT: I really dig that keyboard cover. With some retr0brite, it'd look very nice. If only it fit on an AEK, hahaha.

Amazing finds on eBay Deutschland

That Fairlight looks INCREDIBLE. Such wonderful looking caps and looks like it belonged to some serious recording equipment back in the day. Fantastic. Great finds, Ramnes.

Yes, that Zenith. Hopefully is stays low for you guys. I know someone's eyeing it to harvest the Alps SKCL Greens, hehe.

Also, might have to update the wiki on the Chicony 5160

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chicony-KB-5160 ... 1595868804

This seems to have MX clears. Whether they are the typical clear switches or are the very uncommon (I think?) linear clear switches is uncertain. One thing is for sure, these are probably truly VINTAGE clears, so it would be a good buy for someone who wants some really smooth Ergos.

EDIT: Maybe I got ahead of myself. Those have the little nubs that clicky switches have, so MX Whites? Or just Blues before they were dyed? I haven't ever seen whites IRL, but in pictures they look like they are a solid white.

[Blaise170]

The vintage whites had the same translucent slider as vintage clears.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, to be honest.

http://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anze ... 2-225-9425

Almost NIB, he claims the caps are "like new" and that the case has two scratches. Looks almost NIB but it was apparently used before. 5 pin DIN if a PS2 adapter was used. Shame it's in Hamburg. But the guy definitely knows what he has got so it's not cheap.

I am the darker brother.

Spoiler:

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.

(Langston Hughes, 1902 - 1967)

Well the brit says it's a GB only sale.
