You calling me a label?

No ,but if you were then the nicest one of all.

[guk]

Where's the suspicious look smiley?

Yep Chicony KB-5161 OEM.

[Blaise170]

Not really sure on the switches, but I'm pretty sure it's Keytronic foam and foil.
Allen Bradley 1784: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121276074572

Cherry MX Clears with missing caps
Chyron Maxine: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151900594498
And another: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171868956918

I think this may have been posted already but oh well.
Laird Telemedia 3615A: http://www.ebay.com/itm/272042755858

Model M 122 (probably non-AT): http://www.ebay.com/itm/301768968918

Not sure about this but looks like it could be mechanical.
Epson Q503A: http://www.ebay.com/itm/172004389027

Looks like MX Blacks, could be an interesting project if you get it cheap enough.
Tokheim MEMS IV: http://www.ebay.com/itm/272053150005

Looks like it's probably Keytronic foam and foil.
Quinton: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262154545791

NMB with speakers, probably dome though.
Concert Master RT915CTW: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301807503517

Mechanical and has a nice trackball attached to it.
iOne Scorpius 19U: http://www.ebay.com/itm/391333162510

Another one of those Funuc boards, attached to a CRT. If someone could enlighten us on the switch, that'd be cool.
Shizuoka CNC: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151800364482

An old morse code keyboard. Switches unknown.
DGM MKB-2000: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252152915766

The Contact Systems CS-400C has what appears to be Cherry M5 (image below in case I'm wrong), so I imagine this will be the same.

Tokheim MEMS IV: http://www.ebay.com/itm/272053150005

Wow wow, those looks like the rare Cherry "transluscent" blacks that some Asian guys have. Price is steep, though.



(Sprit's NCR board here)

Yep Chicony KB-5161 OEM.

The Chicony 5161 and Nan Tan 6151 are different entirely, despite their confusing model numbers. I wonder if it was a coincidence that they use such similar model numbers.

So... MX blacks with a bad dye job?

Not yoo bad a price for an ISO DE Dolch.

The cases look the same to me. I guess they must be different but they are so similar.

Yeah, the top side shot is really misleading, but from the side, the NTC looks like a Model M, and the Chicony has more of Dell AT101-style swoop shape.




Haha, since no one takes pictures of the sides of their keyboards, it's a little difficult to show, but Chyros' video on the NTC 6151 illustrates it well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvGzDY10Pyk

Sorry for the information overload.

[guk]

Grats to (Nuum? or) whoever bought the Dolch.

[Halvar]

Thanks a lot guk! Couldn't let that opportunity pass. It's true what they say about drunk late night shopping...

[guk]

No ragrets! ..until next morning? If you do, it's a commercial seller, returning the PAC wouldn't be a problem. (I don't know what's being said about drunk late night shopping.) But I hope you'll simply enjoy it.

[shreebles]

Well, I wouldn't say I was drunk...
But inebriated me did order a Novatouch with a Gin & Tonic in hand last night

At least it's not more expensive than a regular TKL now, so I can justify keeping it to mod later

Ordered one for that very reason. Curious if it fits any of the cases that are laying around. If it doesn't, it should find a new owner easily.

G80-3000HAU in Belgium
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111840365987? ... Track=true

Also, I'm pretty sure this doesn't have Alps compatible caps (based on this) but they are cool and it doesn't have a fixed cable which I think is pretty uncommon in a AppleDesign Keyboard.

G80-1000HAU in Belgium
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111840365987? ... Track=true

I am going to try my luck on this one . Also, it's a G80-1000

[HzFaq]

Best of luck .

I'm sure it's just the crappy picture, but it looks like the |\ key is modifier coloured which isn't something I've seen before, could be something fairly unique there. Or, more likely, a shit picture.

[andrewjoy]

Are the G80-1000 as good as people say ? I like the older case design! I have a more modern cherry and it is nice but it flexes like a oiled up gymnast.

Will give one a try one day.

[scottc]

I find them a lot sturdier. They also look a lot more like a Model M, which is nice.

I have one and find it very nice. I'd say not really better than an old G80-3000 from the early 90s, but definitely much sturdier than the lightweight modern 3000s.

Halvar did you get that Dolch?

It seems that your seller posted another Dolch, with some of the same images, but "a bit higher priced":

Silicon Graphics RT6856TGR keyboard:

[Halvar]

Yes, I got it (I mean it's on the way to me), but mine is supposed to be in a worse state, maybe not working at all, according to the description.

The other, more expensive, one, is tested working.

This POS keyboard has Cherry MX blue switches:

I'm no SGI expert, but I think I read those later models were rubberdomes. Certainly isn't the "Alps Bigfoot" like mine.

Looks good in that moody shot, but it's the rubber dome model.

[derzemel]

ok, I learned something new today

[seebart]

Me too. That Chicony 5161 vs. Nan Tan 6151 look similar.

It's not the picture and it's not unique:



Definitely rare, thought.

[photekq]

Woah! That 1000! A24! Don't see a 1988 1000 too often..
