Model F XT for a decent price, "tested". Could be a good deal (no, I'm not bidding on it)

Apparently, linking to your own auctions is frowned upon. Removing the post. Apologies.

Especially considering that the only gsruff's posts are advertising such their own eBay sales in this thread.

Having only 2 posts since 2012 is impressive though.

I didn't know this thread was for your own free advertising...

The starting price is a misprint, right? RIGHT?

When it reached 355 USD, I thought it would stay there for several days. Now it's at 480. This has all the markings of a legendary bidding war.
Now its at $630 :cry:
God, that was so three days ago. It's reached $1000 and it still two days and fourteen hours to go. :shock:

I have no idea how someone from this hobby can do such a thing, that's the most obnoxious greed I have ever seen.

If there's one thing I've learned from eBay, if the seller lists something as extremely rare, then it's worth whatever they are asking.

Really interesting industrial keyboard, black Allen Bradley one.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/USED-ALLEN-BRA ... 3000076002

Looks like an ... alps maybe? The LEDs in the numlock/caps lock/scroll lock keycaps caught my eye though.

I am betting it's rubber dome.

I've been googling manuals/specs and couldn't find for sure (I found for newer models) but I would say rubber dome as well. Besides they tend to be more rugged, which is one of the ethos of the company, from what I read so far.

Starting at a low price too.

Thanks a lot for the heads-up wobbled. I think I will go for this if the price doesn't get too crazy.
I'm still eyeing the previous one, as it has the case and the wristrest, but the keycaps look a bit more appealing to me.

^ Model M with dip switches!?

That appears to be an XT/AT switchable model M, if some of my other XT/AT keyboards are anything to go by. Too bad that some of the ink is gone as the dip switches probably also do other functions as well. Maybe not though.

(note this is an educated guess)

no. this is a terminal model m. It will not work with XT or AT protocol at all. Those dipswitches probably had some function for the terminal that it was originally included with.

Taylor Swift is a hobbiest and would probably be glad to answer your question. My guess is that Soarer's firmware would handle it, but I would have also expected him to say so if it was true.
