I am offering a torso of Honeywell BO1810 terminal keyboard - with Micro Switch Hall Effect switches, probably from the year 1980.
Absolutely nice and unique old style caps.
Not complete but the main part is there - PCB, switches and the most of caps. So there is a change to repair it (the cable), make a new bottom part and it will work again.
This board should be able to convert it via Teensy to USB, I saw it here in some threads.
The price and the shipping:
The price is 250€ 190€ to my Paypal, shipping from the Czech Republic, Prague.
Shipping to Europe no problem - about 20€, worldwide - would depend on your country, shipping to USA - will not be cheap from Europe - standard economy slow international could reach about 30€ - 50€ + Custom.
Worldwide shipping via Czech Post, Europe via Packeta.

Micro Switch - Hall Effect with sloped stem
Type of Micro Switches - 4B3S - the most - Momentary action, 5BS3 - Alternate action - I think they have two state - pressed or unpressed, uses some aretation inside

PCB: SD-16238
Cat Listing: 108SD-21-3

According to the sticker inside - MFD: year 1980, 49 week - ????
