Pretty sure that last one had cherry doubleshots with mx blacks or clones. I had a version with clones and hebrew secondary legends.

[Dra]

Yeah, the ProWorld Clones right?

Would be nice if it's those, I already am interested in the 'MX Alps'

[E3E]

Yes, it looks like a ProWorld model. I'd love to build an "MX" custom with those switches because of their similarities to Alps. I bet these are more common in Germany going from the DT wiki. They seem to be... clones (?) or derivatives of the Focus FK-727 and FK-555 series of keyboards.

Sick, I'll be sure to post a proper review/teardown for it if it really is

That could also be the almost-Cherry Alps-mount molds.

Looking at the second pic of the acution, the number row legends are clearly not from the well known Cherry molds. Compare the ß with a HAD set. And the strikethrough-zero ...

[photekq]

They're not Cherry caps, they just look really, really similar.

Northgate Omnikey Ultra 102 white Alps -- appears to be in excellent condition. ~ $125.

After checking out my FAME's caps again, I wouldn't doubt that these are made by Tai Hao, since they did have Cherry profile molds back in the day. Could be Alps, but I'm thinking these will have the ProWorld switches.

Commodore AZERTY Keyboard, should be MX with doubleshots unless I'm wrong

Foam and foil, based on the font, and the common use of "capacitive" and "solid state" in keyboard marketing in the mid 1980s.

I always wonder if these 102s can have the function row switches soldered in, and if they will work. Ages ago I had a 102 and, under the label above the alphas, there were definitely holes in the case and the plate - and mounting areas on the PCB - for more switches. At the time (late 2011) I had no idea how to obtain more switches.

Has anyone tried this?

[alienman82]

removed.

[XMIT]

why not short with tweezers to test it? now you got me curious

I don't have an Omnikey 102 any more.

FK 2001 with blue alps

Cheap AT-101!

Aww, I'm slightly disappointed by this. I saw AT101 and was hoping for the board with Salmon Alps and PBT Keycaps... this is an AT101W. Secondly, it's not even that cheap for an AT101W. Cheap would be ~$10, this is pretty average.

[emdude]

It looks like a fair price, the 'average' eBay price appears to be $30-40 without shipping, depending on condition.

Wish I could use that layout, but the BAE ruins it for me.

The listing's silly title looks familiar, I have a feeling the seller has not been able to sell the board despite it having "the BLUE Alps".

It's rather expensive for the condition it's in.

Having the blue alps almost sounds like a medical condition.

FM towns board - interestingly the model is a kb101a.

[Chyros]

Are any of the FM towns boards PC-compatible?

[//gainsborough]

Someone wise once told me: you can make anything PC-compatible!

This isn't a keyboard, but it seems like an outstanding deal for some loose tall cream alps switches.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Apple-I ... SwsTxXjW-D

edit: oh it's $7.95 per switch...yeah that makes a lot more sense

[gogusrl]

outstanding deal ? I don't think you've noticed this :

**$7.95 per switch**, with free USPS First Class shipping included to anywhere in the continental United States. Returns accepted within 14 days of purchase.
