Stuff you just bought

[derzemel]

Yeah, to me too. Thick lasered pbt. Maybe this is why there are errors in alignment

[Alkhar]

You confirm they are lasered ?

[vsev]

Not the same set Alkhar
I didn't knew lasered legends by Cherry OG could be as large as double shot or dyed ones
Here lasered from Compaq 11800 (w trackball) close to one of this set and the third is dye sub garanty

Lasered without a doubt, I'm afraid. Still thick PBT though!

[vsev]

Yeah, still really like the light & large print and the offset in some legends like vintage stamps (thanks I'm not collector in these at least!)

I bought another Model F AT, having decided that this was the best Model F option. The F122 has proven too unwieldy, the XT's layout too foreign after typing on laptops, and the Ellipse-F not yet bought.

Bought on a whim, and now regretting.

Why regret? Was it for your collection or did you have plan to mod/scavenge?

How much did you paid?

I thought it was Hall effect, but it turned out to be a form of primitive Hi-tek switch.

USD$90 or so.

On the other hand, I did get my Hall effect!

Grats So it didn't really sell for 122? Or did he have two?

SKCL Greens with 1/2 height Greens?

SKCL Greens with 1/2 height Greens?

Exactly that. Had the cover with it too so the switches are basically pristine. All I gotta do now is figure out what I wana do with it!

Edit: Spacebar is SKCL Cream.

There's a chance you might have the really early black switchplate versions of SKCL Greens too (the Cream and SKCL Compacts should also have these as well if so).

My room is hardly the most neutral lightning environment, though that looks to be the case:

They must've been sitting around in the Alps factory for a while then, the original owner kindly indicated in the manual when the device was purchased: 2/10/87.

Bought NEC Blue Ovals from E-bay today:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/401264354925?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

I think overpaid, but I really wanted a full board with these.

[elecplus]

My favorite switch

[Ail]

My favorite switch

Yes, so I've heard! I've also heard you single-handedly caused the prices of these to skyrocket!

[elecplus]

They don't seem to show up very often. I like blue Alps too, but I was not responsible for those going sky high!

Perhaps, though the cheaper ones always look like bananas, so.

Finally found one NIBfor a decent price :



Can't wait to get my hands on it.

[emdude]

Purchased one of those NIB tactile Space Invaders keyboards and a set of English-Cyrillic Unicomp keycaps. Quite excited about the latter because Unicomp goes through the trouble of offering colored sub-legends! Praying for decent alignment!

And the caps just came! The font is regular Helvetica and not the IBM version like in the only other example of the keyset that I've seen, but it's not a big complaint. The alignment is mostly good and the dyesubs are pretty sharp! Unicomp did a pretty decent job with this!
