I too concur. That looks like a Montery K104.

That would be pretty kewl. The bottom one looks like something MS-TECH ... I have very little hope it's worth anything.

Acer KB101A rebrand.

Like the Xerox boards, I just randomly browsed and there it was on my feed. Welp, there ya go.

Who says ya can't get blue Alps for less than $360?

I just imagine you living in a house made of vintage alps boards, building blue alps couches, and green alps chairs...

Waiting for the inevitable "E3E Alps Emporium - Everything must go so I can find my bed" thread.

The Monterey K104 will have white Alps or SMK Alps mount (hopefully the latter!). The other one is certainly junk.

I have one of these K104s with the same SCT chip logo, it has white clicky Alps.

It's amazing how much I miss considering how often I look. I must have checked the latest listings moments before this popped up. Congrats

Please quit making me jealous!

Blaise170 · 02 Mar 2016, 23:03

That NTC is Zugluftiers from this forum. Contact him if you want it. I would've bought it but $30 to the US was too much for me.

Looks Hall-effectey to me, could be wrong though. Font and keycap form does look a little different from my 80s Micro Switch Hall effect keyboard. I would still buy it if shipping to me wasn't $70.

seebart · 03 Mar 2016, 21:55

Yeah if I was in the US I would buy that for $16.17 also. Just the fact that it generates international morse code is awesome.

ohaimark · 03 Mar 2016, 22:47

It's $10 shipping for me... Any other U.S. users want to bite? I'm knee deep in keyboards... One more can't hurt... But I don't need more... JESUS CHRIST SOMEONE ELSE BUY IT AND SAVE ME FROM MYSELF!

Crazy Canadian XXIV · 03 Mar 2016, 23:19

$60 to ship it over the border :c sorry Mark.

Blaise170 · 03 Mar 2016, 23:23

If it weren't so huge I'd bite. But I too am knee deep in keyboards do I need to stop buying things.

ROTFL!!

snuci · 03 Mar 2016, 23:26

I was thinking about it but I already have something similar and it has a Hi-Tek or Stackpole keyboard (can't remember which).

seebart · 03 Mar 2016, 23:28

ohaimark wrote: JESUS CHRIST SOMEONE ELSE BUY IT AND SAVE ME FROM MYSELF!

No.

OK I know what just buy it "for me" and then keep it.

It could be some other switch too like SMK or Futaba. With those keycaps I don't think so but that's impossible to tell from those pictures.

ohaimark · 03 Mar 2016, 23:33

I sent him a $5 offer.

snuci · 03 Mar 2016, 23:37

It doesn't look like mine exactly. Mine is a Robot 800c. (not my pic below)

http://www.qsl.net/ct4sl/FOTOS_CT/KEY1_2.JPG

My first impression of this keyboard was that it was a Keytronic foam and foil. For $5 we can find out

ohaimark · 03 Mar 2016, 23:44

He counter-offered $12. I offered $5 (again). He obviously can't sell the bugger, and I made it clear that ANY offer higher than mine is worth accepting outright due to the apparent lack of interest in the 'board.

I don't think he'll sell it to me. -sigh of relief-

Edit: DAMN. He agreed to the $5.

Edit 2: He sent me a message -- I bargained like a boss, I guess.

Edit 3: He's going to come close to losing money on shipping it, the poor fool.

snuci · 03 Mar 2016, 23:47

It's a pretty sweet deal for $15 shipped. Nice solid case too. Congrats.

seebart · 03 Mar 2016, 23:47

Yeah if it's from the late 70's it may very well be Key Tronic foam and foil like my blue one but the keycaps look different on that.

ohaimark wrote: Edit: DAMN. He agreed to the $5.

There you go.

Congrats. I have that Olympia People Computer keyboard coming in soon. Can't wait.

alh84001 · 04 Mar 2016, 00:33

That Olympia logo brings me back to childhood. My grandfather worked for a couple of law firms and he would often bring me with him when going to their offices. As I was very little I don't remember much, but I do have this picture etched in my brain, of secretaries blazingly fast typing stuff that was dictated to them. Typewriters were always Olympia.

I don't know if there were other typewriters in other offices, or were these license made by a government company so there was no other option (ah, beauties of socialism), but since then I took this logo to mean professionalism and quality. I hope this board doesn't disappoint
