SS caps?

Nuum · 12 Nov 2017, 11:35

I think they look more like old Cherry high profile sphericals, like here: wiki/Cherry_B_65-1712

SS caps?

Certainly not SS. They look more like SA to me; I know that sounds cliche, but I don't say that with naivete.

SS is sculpted and more distinct. Almost like DSA if it was high profile and sculpted. These are uniform, which is what SA was originally. The inner corners aren't rounded enough to be that classic Cherry spherical profile. These have sharper inner corners.

Nuum · 12 Nov 2017, 12:26

But SA has even sharper corners and the dish of those caps looks deeper than that of SA profile. Also look at the side profile and the font, I'd bet those are Cherry keycaps.

The switch contacts seem to match Cherry M7 switches, as well.

I'd love some SA caps with that font. Actual SA caps doesn't look too classic, those ones would be, IMO.

"Unused" DC2014 for 200$
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Leading-Edge-D ... 2446402269

mecano · 12 Nov 2017, 22:56

@Myoth yup that font is nice and BOLD, look at that G!

I searched BOSCH System 5 but couldn't find anything vintage just modern surveillance system units or so it seems.
So Nuum should be closer to the truth… and it really looks like the wiki Cherry B 65-1712 picture.
Something is fishy here though, why are the 'O' and 'U' missing? Almost cryptic when you look at the caps positions. Someone is angry about the alphabet order?

Sure, if your willing to spend $$$...with APL caps too. Let's take some bets how high this will go...

IKSLM · 13 Nov 2017, 12:04

No more cheap fantastic boards for you wobbled! You already got the blue alps. >:o

wobbled · 13 Nov 2017, 14:39

Haha! My wallet still paid the price though. Why cant we all find super rare boards for 5p like chyros does?!?

If you spend enough time at your local recycler you might...

I tried that once! Thousands of CRTs and some smashed up consoles is about all I could find. I do live in a small town in the middle of buttfuck nowhere though

Right, well ít's pretty random I guess. Wodan had better luck. Were I live the recycler is like a high-security area they just won't tolerate it because of some insurance policy shit...

wobbled · 13 Nov 2017, 14:48

Thats pretty dumb, surely things being reused is a good thing. Maybe I will try looking for some recyclers in my nearest city.

Mate if I found what I consider to be gems (a kishsaver) you would never hear from me again. I would be 6 feet underground following a heart attack

I was planing to go for it since yesterday but if you are really interested I could step down.

I'm fairly new to Topre. I just got a Leopold and I like it quite a bit so I'd like to explore HKKB (at a reasonable price). But then again, I just got a Topre board so it feels a bit like hoarding if another member wants to try it as well...

There is also a reasonable priced set of keycaps in eBay uk (with a few non-iso swapped from a JP layout) if the new owner wants to have some of the keycaps replaced. I was planing to go for both.

This is already gone. i was a bit tempted but didn't seem "Unused". Too much Yellowing.
Today I received a real unused Apple ADB Keyboard from 1988 New in Box, and it is absolutely pristine with no yellowing whatsoever. There shouldn't be any if the keyboard was never out of the box.
