Yup, very nice looking keyboard.

Ooh look, it's got the fatass enter! Never seen that board though.

[seebart]

I've seen that before. Even here I believe. Fujitsu leaf spring 3rd gen. I like the looks of it.

[ramnes]

That Sanyo board is really a nice board, I hesitated to get multiple times. As seebart said, it has Futjitsu Lead Spring which, if you like linears, are just awesome. The metal case make it even better.

[jou]

Any idea what this one might be?

[guk]

Would expect white Alps or clones. Don't remember the model rumber though.

[Chyros]

Is that a Unitek K-248? Probably white Alps in that case.

[jou]

Thanks, guk and Chyros. My hunch that it might be something interesting was right

[derzemel]

Are you sure it's ALPS?

I am asking because the keyboard seems to be fairly thin, (see this image of the bottom) which makes me to suspect rubber domes

[guk]

No, just guessing based on its looks; don't think there's a way to know for sure unless the seller provides a pic with a pulled keycap. Good objection Derzemel.

[chzel]

Also there are a lot of screws in the back, and that usually means RD...

[andrewjoy]

Yeh i was going to say it has a whiff of the dome about it.

[jou]

Damn, there goes my hopes I'll see if the seller is willing to pull a cap…

Slight yellowing on those caps... or is that filth?

[andrewjoy]

looks more like varnish

I found an NMB RT102, could it be mech?
The thing that irks me is that the fcc = AQGMEMB 74004
Could that memb be a coincidence or i have no luck?

There are mech RT102's apparently: http://deskthority.net/review-f45/nmb-r ... t8469.html

I have seen that, but the fact that it says memb in the fcc scares me, i dont want to pay for a rubberdome
And the guy says he wont pull a keycap T_T

[Muirium]

Yeah, I doubt this one is a space invader. Doesn't look much like my RT102, and that MEMB on the label is a deadly hint!

Yes,it's 100% rubber dome. I have collected lots of NMB Hi-tek details and keyboard for half year, never seen this FCCID "AQ6MEMB-74004" have the space invader version. The seller knows that's the rubber dome,so he did't tell you the correct FCCID to you.

It's alps mount, slider over domes as you might've guessed already.

Thanks for id it. I never seen this switch over dome before. Did you have any keyboard photo or site with that switch?

[guk]

Sent you a picture, it's an early sord switch by Alps which was used for e.g. typewriters.

[stratokaster]

I'd post a full pictures thread, if I had any more pictures. But this is it. One phone pic from a friend of a friend in Kazakhstan:

Kazakh.jpeg

Apparently it's at her parents place, and they say it's from the 1980s. I know nothing more.

Obviously relegendable, and a bit of an oddball what with the tiny, offset "spacebar"! Wouldn't surprise me if it's a microcomputer of some kind.

I know I'm late to the party, but it's a homemade soviet clone of Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

I can't find any information on DT wiki, you should put some details if necessary.

usually, if a keyboard has Alps mount but the switch doesn't look like an Alps one it means slider over rubber dome

[andrewjoy]

usually slider over domes are not 1/2 bad, not something to lust over but passable. Something does not have to be true mechanical to be good , look at Trope.
