Hah it took me a month to sell eight Peerless boards at $5 ea... Can only imagine how long it'll take to sell at $60.

Cindy's tip:

Recycled Goods has an M0010 for $39.

Anyone know what this is? I bought it but I'm overly curious

Looks like a phone pad, doesn't it? Computer pads normally have the 1 in the lower left corner, while phones have them in the upper left corner. Also, the * and # keys.

No idea what switches these could be. Mech in any case, so what can go wrong?

No, nice caps though. Looks newish.

This is more of a teaser than anything, but I think the vintage computer collecting bug just bit me. Hard.

Edit: no idea if the deal I'm trying to make will go through, even partially.

I just remembered about this, did your deal go through, ohaimark? I'd be pretty interested in hearing about what you were trying to get..

So, what's this keyboard? https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anz ... 3-228-2077

Pretty expensive, though!

Good on you for remembering. I'm just reaching the point of shipping with the seller -- he is a piece of work. He's not mean, just idiotic.

I'll give you another teaser. It's made by IBM, it has Alps switches, and I am only aware of 5 units in existence. Seriously -- the entire internet has two pictures and a couple of research papers on the model I'm picking up.

Japan?

[Phenix]

prototype?

That's a rubberdome with a trackpoint that's worth little. Not rare either IMO. I'd spend about 3-5 Euros on that max.

That's all I needed to know, thanks Looks like something IBM just bought in order to keep the costs down...

[Halvar]

It's pretty much an early Thinkpad keyboard in its own case,

Comparable for example to the Thinkpad 770:

Thinkpad keyboards were pretty good back then in comparison to other laptop keyboards. But it's rubberdome of course.

IBM Multistation 5500 series keyboard?

[seebart]

Is this DT quiz time?

[ohaimark]

Japan?

Nope.

prototype?

Nope, but a part of a very limited production run it appears.

IBM JX board? The space-saving one?

Definitely not. I will confirm that it's not a Japanese model.

IBM Multistation 5500 series keyboard?

Nah.

Is this DT quiz time?

I guess so. This is a lot of fun for me!

Make another thread. If it's vintage computer related, I am usually pretty good at figuring out what it is.

Is that now model m or f?
http://m.ebay.it/itm/IBM-Model-M-Clicky ... 1994997855
My doubt is because scooped alt keys tell me model f... right?

This is model M, F's have black metal backs.

[ohaimark]

It is, however, a rarer Model M variant with Model F style stepped caps and feet.

[Tuntematon]

I generally don't like to post deals anymore (find them yourself! ) but this one's fairly harmless.

Cheap Apple M0110, hurry! EDIT: Sold to someone for $19.99 shipped (U.S.) Have a nice day!

Some American go get it! That's less than a quarter the price you ever see them here.

Thanks. Couldn't leave that one alone. I could use it to pair up with a Mac 512k too.
