At that price, we could get wodan to do a customized run of the hadapter, to complete set with a standardized bottom row (plus Enter and backspace) and pack it all together.

158 Yuan for one full set.
Or 100 Yuan/ea if you take them all (about 45 sets).
Very cheap price!!!
Link can't be opened outside China, but you can find that seller if you have '闲鱼' APP.

some keys are not normal size, such as backspace, enter.

Anyone want to organize a GB?

Be aware that the caps are grey and that those with weird symbols will be pad printed.
Plus some caps have a different profile from what you would expect.

How much are the quoted Chinese prices in € and/or $?

Yep, a 'quiet-touch' unsaver. Not my favorite board to type on, but interesting all the same.

BTW, IIRC those are Cherry solid state capacitive, or otherwise probably MX black. The former make a pretty good noise ^^ . Quite 'spensive though.

Expensive.
Such a cutie.
I remember seeing a bunch of those keyboards (without the monitor) on taobao quite cheaply a while back. They might still be around.

Missed this post. Here's the complete set up. That Teller computer is missing the main unit (and the IBM 4704 computer it attaches to but so does mine)

That link is broken. Is this what you were trying to link to? https://www.ebay.com/itm/173656459288

ekeppel · 23 Nov 2018, 18:32

Yes, thanks. My service is poor here I guess and I mangled the URL!

Myoth · 23 Nov 2018, 18:34

Those are Omron's Alps clone, they're not White Alps

EDIT : testing a feature

Why does a terminal keyboard need mains power? And what's that switch on the backk doing? Is this modified for some reason?
