CHERRY G80-1501HAD

Those are some neat caps! Never seen a HAD with them until today...

Anyone know what this might be? http://www.ebay.com/itm/WAL-2-Keyboard/151093015635

It's made by Oak Switch systems, so I would think it uses that mechanism...but the layout makes me not sure.

andrewjoy · 11 Apr 2016, 17:00

I am not 100% sure on it , but from the look of the caps i can tell its not MX or ALPS or Hi-Tec. It however does have an air of quality about it with the decent backplate . Give it a go if you can get it cheap.

This is about 50km from me... But I guess, he won't sell the keyboard on its own

I allready asked

Selling just the keyboard from that Symbolics machine would be a tragedy. The whole package belongs in a museum.

alh84001 · 11 Apr 2016, 23:55

I think zuglufttier was referring to the IBM mainframe he linked, but I would say the same for it as well. If it were only the terminal, that would be another story, but full working mainframe/terminal setup - it would be barbaric to split it up.

Edit: 3x AEK I

By serial number, at least one would have orange alps switches

If that Symbolics 3620 was in Canada or even in the US, I would have been all over it and it would not have been split up.

lolpes · 12 Apr 2016, 00:29

Well this one sure is interesting!

It's quite a lovely day today, not a keyboard in sight..

lolpes · 12 Apr 2016, 00:59

Don't say anything until the board is in your hands, or the seller might cancel the the buy due to some "error" in the listing when the find out what they could have gotten xD

emdude · 12 Apr 2016, 01:00

You are absolutely right lolpes..

That's the Symbolics part no. 364000 keyboard. It's very nice

I got it directly from (the remnants of) Symbolics in 2009 for $125. Don't bother contacting them, they're out and sold all.

webwit · 12 Apr 2016, 01:24

P.S. That LISP machine should go the someone who wants the whole thing. Maybe 7bit, in case he wants to upgrade the Bot from Perl to LISP.

Now you left us wondering...

He could be in prison. Or O.R.

webwit wrote: He could be in prison. Or O.R.

Or feeling guilty that he should be in jail for stealing that Leading Edge keyboard for what he got if for, if it works out okay

Tuntematon · 12 Apr 2016, 04:03

I thought this would never sell. Looks like somebody might actually pay $800 for a used IBM M15 with no description:

Engicoder · 12 Apr 2016, 04:09

Could be a shill trying to validate the asking price.
Or someone with too much money for their own good.

jerue · 12 Apr 2016, 04:42

More cherry weirdness...1800 doubleshots with relegendable caps!

Price is a little high, but another "something I haven't seen before" post...

I am planning on bidding on this fwiw.

Redmaus · 12 Apr 2016, 05:10

Ooo that is like 300 orange alps! And three Apple PBT sets!

I don't expect this one to be cheap touch it....

3 lots have sold like this previously. One for $55. And another for 12.00. I messed up bidding on the 12 dollar one. I'd be interested in splitting the boards with someone/s. I really only need 1 board in good typing condition. Pm me if interested.

Now that it's out in the open, I don't see these going cheap. Before, on the other hand, it wasn't as public. :/
