I was kidding of course, good links. Love that Vintage Osborne Portable Computer!

And this one too: Vintage IBM 5160 PC XT

Just like the proverbial buses all turning up at once...

A Model F in Germany the one Zuglufttier laid dibs on, looks to me to be built in Armonk, U.S.A. instead of in the U.K. The U.S.A built ones seem to wear better than their U.K. brethren, suffering comparatively less from rust.

Good luck Zugluftier.

That post reminded me the TaxTheRich Youtube channel.

Or Blendtec, maybe more suitable to keyboards...

A fine specimen of an Apple Mac Plus, with original hard disk, keyboard and mouse

Unfortunately, will it blend: kishsaver edition has already been tested. Fucking banker.

Yes but I find the whole very machine very decorative. "Slightly" unrealistic and impractical for me though.

It's the same unresponsive idiot that asked for a price check on that keyboard multiple times here.

I asked him multiple times to kindly post pictures of the other sides of the keys in the little baggie, but he never did so, while continuing to ask for price checks.

The board is overpriced(if the price is in AUD then the price is OK) and the seller is a douche. I can't recommend anyone buy it. That said, if someone does end up buying it, could you pleeeease post pictures of the other sides of those keycaps? I'll get on my knees and beg if necessary

Did he just fulfill your request

Sankart · 06 May 2016, 22:18

What's the cap on the top left? Are there dyesubs mixed with the doubleshots?

Yes I can confirm the seller could not be serious. I tried to get that board about 2 or 3 month before, after patient communication about price, shipping and payment method then that guy just simply claimed he would sell it to another one. Totally rude and wasting my time. Now he try to sell it again? Kidding me?
