Symbolics 365407 rev A with cylindrical keycaps and ITW switches?

[Slom]

I just saw this ... so far I assumend that symbolics used hall-effect switches on the older boards and space invaders on the 365407.

Is this common knowledge?

Oh interesting, those are magnetic valve with membrane. This should go on the wiki...

Yes, problem being we cannot use that picture unless we get permission. But it can be noted of course. I've never seen one of those either.

That's a Rev C I think, with the led keys.

It pretty clearly says rev-A on the back. Maybe it was refurbished or constructed from spare parts.

I asked the seller, and pointed him here. Maybe he is kind enough to answer

I have permission from the seller to use the pictures for the wiki. Now the question is ... how should this be documented?

Great. The page we have now isn't exactly ample anyway. I usually only add data of keyboards I actually own but I don't mind creating a page. Upload those pictures to a pic hoster or PM me slom. Possibly someone else wants to create this page. As long as we don't end up with a mess like the Micro Switch SD Series page that now needs serious work.

I had a little go at it. Mostly pics because I'm not so skilled in prose.
Let me know if I did something completely wrong
