Actually, I might. I still have servers running from the 1980s-1990s, but all my DIN keyboards are frakked. It would be nice to hook up a nice, new keyboard to a diehard server, and be able to use its console, instead of telnetting in from another machine.rodtang wrote:din to ps/2 you don't want one that goes the other way.mintberryminuscrunch wrote:nice one,
you can buy them anywhere they sell computer related stuff, just look for ps/2 to din adapters
why did you switch out the caps?gothic860 wrote:NIB Cherry G81-3100 SFD Dye Sub any ideas? On ebay about 100€ for a used one.

apologies for the low-res btw; had to use my crappy phone camera
They are lemon/orange as far as I can tell. Non tactile, non clicky. Is this a good thing for value?Ascaii wrote:All three unknowns are most likely worthless to this community. 1 and three are keytronic foam n foil switches that degrade horribly over time, number 2 is a RD boad.
Eazy PC board looks to have cream or lemon alps, which are a rarer find...depending on how used up the switches are I would value them at anywhere from 30 to 70$.
If those stickers have been there from the start it's a good thing,mintberryminuscrunch wrote:sorry just edited,
only just read that the red are only stickers.
not worth 150 at all
I have both new Cherry Dye Subs and new Cherry Doubleshots... I don't know why the label says SFD but both are 100% unused and i didn't changed anything.why did you switch out the caps?

Thanks, I did not think of that. I do believe I have enough space right now, but I am most likely going to dump it at my desk at the institute, so this is more like a long-term investment.off wrote:I think a Kinessis is the farthest you could reasonably get from a TKL.mSSM wrote:What do you guys think?
So make sure you have the desk-/chair-/keyboardtrayspace to work with that (and look over it at your monitor).
If the condition is good it is a good price. You can get them for cheap sometimes but they're usually old and not USB.mSSM wrote:I could get the following configuration for about Eur 230, but I am hesitant to jump at it because it still is quite a lot of dough for me:
Kinesis Advantage Pro (Mint condition, but out of warranty)
Extra Key Caps
2 Foot Pedals
2 New Palm Pads
What do you guys think? Is Eur 230 a good price? I am a bit worried that if I do not like it, the Kinesis will not have any resell value - they are barely sold either here or over at GeekHack, and the last one sold on eBay (non-pro) left for about 80...
I'd say EUR 200 for the SSK and somewhere between 100 and 120 for the Ms. But with NIBs it's always a bit of a gamble, since they're really only collectors items. If you're buying them to use it usually doesn't make sense to get a NIB?tinlong117 wrote:i got a NIB IBM Model M SSK ANSI and three boards of NIB IBM Model M,
how much do them worth
thanks
The last NIB SSK went for $350 on ebay.com. A MINT SSK went for $330.Icarium wrote:I'd say EUR 200 for the SSK and somewhere between 100 and 120 for the Ms. But with NIBs it's always a bit of a gamble, since they're really only collectors items.

A 102 is a nice board, saying from having used (and after a little while modded bit by bit into a mess) a pretty heavily used one. I would love to try a (near-)NIB one at some point.InSanCen wrote:I love the M13, so it would need to be a fair bit for me to part with it. Much as I like the AT Model F, I'm hesitant to Mod it into a more usable layout. I'm currently typing on the 102, and I'm surprised by how much I like it. It was NIB though.
Lemon? Looks like the wiki calls them cream here, sorry no pics so...Trent wrote:They are lemon/orange as far as I can tell. Non tactile, non clicky.
