This was someone who picked it up at a thrift store and is trying to flip it. I found it on local Craigslist and posted locally but now it's up on eBay.
I posted about this item two pages before. It's a historical specimen that lacks a speaker grille. Maybe the earliest SSK known so far.snuci wrote: ↑.XMIT wrote: ↑Local SSK: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ibm-Keyboard/253017496672

I had made inquiries about it on Craigslist. The seller also has other vintage computer items so we'll see what happens.

No definitely not a beamspring. Aside from the obvious appearance of the switches, these are soldered in. Beamsprings are modular and installed over a PCB full of capacitive sensing pads.Gnohio wrote: ↑Probably a beamspring?

Looks like old Futabas, but perhaps someone with more experience can ID what type of switches they are.
If the switches arent worth it then maybe at least the caps are worth salvaging. reference [2] points here.Sun Type 4. Tactile Key Tronic foam and foil.[2]

Do you think it would be worth grabbing? I dont really know a lot about foam and foil switches other than that the foam can deteriorate over time.
Sun keyboards used a serial protocol. TMK has support for the protocol.chip chop wrote: ↑Think Sun is a custom protocol, specific (expensive) adapter needed. It looks like ADB but is custom to Sun.

From what I understand that's some special rare SSK prototype, that final price is pretty high even for SSK's in that average condition.Gnohio wrote: ↑$890.....wew ladyangdaddy wrote: ↑I tried snagging that possibly oldest known ssk, but couldn't hang for $890.

That's right, and if a NIB one would show up I guarantee you it would go well over $1000.wobbled wrote: ↑there are morons out there wiling to pay almost a grand on an SSK that isn't even industrial? smh.
