I volunteered to go through the pallet for them and separate out the ones they could resell as it would've taken them quite a while to sort through them, especially to see which would've been worth anything to them. In return I could take anything I wanted.
Fortunately, apart from about two dozen very nice boxes including one big enough to actually hold the F122 (just barely!) I got what I had some small hope I'd find among the boxes:
Two black Dell AT102Ws, brand new in their original box! Includes cellophane, "manual" and everything! I'd hoped to get one of these for a while, and it's nice to find two of them now in perfect condition!
Of course this being a foreign language pallet mostly they were both German-layout. Which is still ISO, at least. However, to de-Germanify them, I replaced the alphanumeric and function keys with the dyesub PBT ones from my broken Alps AT102, as those were still virgin white of course:
Now, just the Num ▼, ▼ and Strg buttons as well as the model sticker betray this was actually once a German board
. Although they're new, I couldn't resist opening it up to see when it was made, as I figured it could be a pretty late one considering the rest of the pallet. Turns out it's from 2000, making it my second-youngest Alps board.
I'm keeping this one for myself, the other I might pass onto a friend for a friendly price
.
