Memorex Telex is either rubber dome or Hi-Tek, but I wouldn't take the risk on this one without more pictures, especially of the label.

Very few Memorex-Telex boards are Hi-Tek; its more the exception than the rule. I only know of two models with Hi-Tek switches. I haven't seen a 122 key that was Hi-Tek, so I am 99% sure this one is rubber dome.

Wouldn't it be nice if the case would be compatible with cherry 3000 PCBs?

Nuum · 14 Nov 2015, 12:37

It is, you just need to make yourself a fitting mounting plate. The PCB has the right spacing to the F-row and stuff. I've thought of doing it with mine as well.

4 units of BTC 5100C mini keyboard for 4 euro each.

Muirium · 14 Nov 2015, 13:27

Nice layout. What are the switches? I'd likely buy one if someone runs a local proxy.

Edit: domes. Bugger!

this ibm xt 286 (i believe the computer itself is pretty rare). From the pictures the keyboard seems to be early model M 1390131.
You should be able to get the whole package for 40 euro or less I guess

There are a TON of vintage boards on US ebay, almost like systematic gaylord offloading.

Seems like a lot more than ususal.

Engicoder · 15 Nov 2015, 20:48

I bid on the very nice Sol board, but it seems to have a reserve as the auction ended and my bid was not enough. It was relisted.

I haven't had the time to list my stuff elsewhere. If anyone is interested I'd be happy to sell here without auction too.

Would you like to know anything about the Sol-20 keyboard? I have three Sol-20s and had to replace the foam pads on all of them. They are Keytronic foam and foil switches in case you weren't sure.

seebart · 16 Nov 2015, 00:57

What about those two VINTAGE DECISION DATA 8010 in my list? Know anything about those snuci?

If you are speaking to me, I did buy one of those earlier today from the same seller. I'll post some pics when I get it. I have no idea what key switches are in it but it should be from the early to mid-70s. I figured I needed to add to my keypunch keyboard collection

seebart · 16 Nov 2015, 01:09

Yes I was speaking to you snuci sorry. Great to hear you got one. Looking foreward to it!

Thanks for the information. I wasn't sure.

Funny you should say that, seebart. Every time I glance at ebay.de, it always seems like rare and obscure mechanicals go for pennies over there. Plus, super rare boards like the Chicony KB-5161A have popped up twice that I've seen in the past couple of months. Though those were Omron and Mitsumi. It seems that the 5161A with blue alps is really hard to come by.

Maybe eBay US has a ton of desirable boards, but they certainly don't sell for cheap.
