Blimey. I've you're in America I probably wouldn't bother with this sale. Even if you won it at 20 quid, you'd end up paying more than the keyboard's worth in total!

At £14 for UK shipping, you can probably assume that shipping to the US will be eye watering!

I would expect £60+ for shipping, honestly. There is no country worse than the UK for shipping!

Yea, i've pretty much come to terms with that.

Which is a shame, the rackmount form factor is pretty sick.

I guess my lackrack doesn't need a dedicated keyboard to the tune of £30 shipping :|

Edit: 30 is what he told me. I guess that's not bad for UK -> US

£30 for shipping that thing from UK to US? I would have thought much higher than that, unless he's planning on shipping it freight :lol:

Well if you two are bidding I think I will back down. I wanted the doubleshots with the 1.75 shift for my 60%, but not really bothered about the rest of it.

That's a bigfoot, not an XT. Same physical layout, bigger case and weirder controller!

Someone got that beamspring displaywriter relatively cheaply too. Hopefully, it's someone from here.

So many beam springs as of late, it's really neat everyone is getting a chance to own these boards. :)

About 79 but I was not expecting to get it. Anyway a few of those vintage keyboards he's still got in there till tuesday are interesting so we'll see if I get one or two of those. Not everyone is getting the chance and it's very unusual for this many to pop up, especially over here. One exclusive combination I do now have is a Beamspring Displaywriter and Model F Displaywriter.

This is hysterical... I love the vents on it like it is an 80's mainframe. WTF is it venting?

Did they have Dolby in 198x? That looks more like some THX Ultra certified. Crazy

EDIT: I should use as the soundbar for the TV. To my wife... "What do you think?!?"
