Sanders Associates 720 Data Display Station keyboard, hacked up for some other purpose. These things were designed in the 60s so the diode logic is no surprise -mine's missing the circuit card, so it's neat to see, though it's still in full Sanders livery.Drclick wrote: ↑25 Jan 2019, 10:18What is this thing?

Marquardt Butterfly's in decent condition (judging by the picture). Although 46$ is a little steep.

The second one is not Tipro MID, but Tipro KMX.
Both lack side covers and a controller, and can therefore be used only as additional units.

Zenith ZKB-2 $150 BIN +$50 from Egypt
https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-ZENITH ... :rk:2:pf:0
This is Model 163-40-4. It has soldered pins instead of a detachable header on the PCB. Looks in excellent shape. Has the case been painted, or is the white balance off?

Not sure, if I have posted this already, but here's a 35G4743 (date 23-07-96): blue-label terminal IBM Model M from Greenock plant, with Czech QWERTZ and a Soarer converter.
https://pc.bazos.cz/inzerat/100284941/IBM-Model-M.php
It's priced at 2000 CZK ~ 80 EUR. If someone wants a proxy, I can do that (assume ca. €20 shipping).

I don't know what this thing is, but it appears to have Cherry M61-0100 switches. Unfortunately it's missing a keycap

This little guy is pretty cool. Anyone know what it is? Looks like it has Cherry M8 switches. Neat.

Just about shat myself thinking this might have been a beamspring from the looks of it. It was not, however.

Here's the monitor if your collecting a full Beehive system. I thought it was a beamer too. Are those keycaps too big for Cherry switches? I'd guess so.

Good question. I tried mine with a Soarer's converter, but it doesn't work. With hid_listen I can see that keystrokes are registering, but it's the wrong protocol or something.andrewjoy wrote: ↑11 Feb 2019, 16:40I Have one of them with MX blacks, does anyone know anything about converting them ?Gamuholic wrote: ↑29 Jan 2019, 03:13Computer Lab International with Taiwan Jet Axis switches.
