The seller is using the same pic of the top in both listings, and this is at least the 3rd time they've listed these boards and used those pics. They did not respond when I messaged them for item-specific pics. Also, the 6110345 doesn't include pics of the bottom.

Geez, is this what an F122 goes for these days? These were around $75 for a while.

I was thinking the same thing when everyone was telling me that a dirty F122 with 2 keys missing at $150 was a good price

That first one is Topre short-throw, a unique switch for sure. Very heavy and low travel.

Apparently excellent condition Model F AT. I'm told the Buy It Now price is way too high.

It's an auction, it's on ~10$ US atm, probably won't go too high as it has scratches on the bottom - Japanese collectors tend to want mint. According to a japaneses friend, it should work fine, but they are not bothering to test it as they don't expect to get much for it (as it is not mint.) Buyee is a shipping service that will ship japanese auctions internationally; the actual auction is on yahoo auctions japan. If my hobby budget wasn't overspent for couple months ahead I'd totally go for this, but a line has to be drawn somewhere. sigh... But, it's a chance for someone adventurous to get something bit different.

I dunno. Those ATs have been going for a pretty penny lately. I'm tempted to sell mine, TBH.

That's a really nice macro pad (after a modification with a usb to usb converter), for how much go these usually?

I'd imagine these are quite rare; seems to be made for some obscure japanese porn board:

It is Micro Switch Monday:

First some SD board, to get you warmed up.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MICROSW ... 2541747666

Then a lot of keypads, one SW the others NW (for caps?).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Vintage-Micro ... 2541800054

Now lets get to the interesting boards. A quite damaged SW board with a lot of missing caps and some broken switches. BUT it apparently has switches with back lighting :o.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MICRO-S ... 3013104198

And finally, we have a board with Micro Switch magnetic reed switches.

That's my bid in already for this keyboard. I figured I'd try to buy it so I can take some pics of the key switches for our wiki. It's not much good otherwise. I have a similar Micro Switch key switch to the lit version so I wanted to see if it was the same.

Personally, I'd go after this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/152573551045

I have an AIM 65 without the case but the case/power supply would be nice.

Got tied up at work so I couldn't be there at the end of the auction. Unfortunately, b***a took it in the last second. I would have had a chance if I was there.

b***a must have one serious collection by now, too bad we never see any of it. :roll: :x

I'd have no issues if we did see his/her collection. Incidentally, b***a is also known as g***l. For some reason, older auctions show those two letters.

No, I meant I really want to see that collection.

Ahhwww :( :( :(

That's about the last keyboard I expected b***a to get. I really wonder what he would do with it.

I would actually be really happy for him to show up here in the forum, not that I have too much hope ...

g***l?

Is it the beginning and last letter in the name?

Looks like my username!

No, it's random. When I go look at auctions that I've personally won (while logged into another account), I see first and last letters that don't match my username.

Maybe if it had the numpad, I could see that price potentially, but alas, does not.
