I am not familiar with that vintage keyboard. The switch looks like it may be SMK vintage linear. Looks nice, not exactly cheap though.

Yes I have one. I'll have to dig into it to see what it has in it. Mine, however, is white.

Ah of course snuci to the rescue. Thanks.

It's a sad big dog. I won't bid on that keyboard although I'd like to, but my own experience with this approach tells me that what you tried here doesn't work. At all.

Right, to be honest I don't expect my approach to really work either, not to mention there will be a few other external bidders anyway. We shall see.

Sorry, I lied., Mine is still a Cybernex but it's not steel backed but it is brand new and has Cherry blacks in it. It will be the subject of some photos soon. I'm not sure if I've seen completely textured Cherry blacks before.

Re: Cybernex, thanks seebart and snuci. What kind of weights are known for SMK vintage linear?

From the looks of it, the cap on the second picture used to say "return"

Wow very specific question, good luck getting an answer to that. I'm not sure how common SMK vintage linear's even are.

You could say it's been wiped to a point of no return.

I bet it said "restecp".

Captain Oblivious says that it can't possibly be "restecp" since the "N" at the bottom is still faintly visible!

Maybe RESTECN?

I have a few SMK linears. I just don't know how to judge the weight but they are fairly weighty and tactile. Here's one keyboard with SMK key switches that look like the tips have been painted. I'm not sure if this denotes different key switch weights from the normal ones or if it's used to stick the key caps on better? Not sure.

Just compare them to so other common switches like IBM buckling spring or Cherry MX.

Thanks, snuci. I'm tempted to see how low the seller will go. Heavy linear is my preference, so maybe worth a shot if it's a deal.

Nope, it's Fujitsu magnetic reed. If that's what you want, good luck

I think seebart has it right.
Check this for Fujitsu leaf spring First Gen:
Now Fujitsu Magnetic reed:
Hint: The Fujitsu leaf spring first gen is like the Otrona Attache keyboard. If it's the same switch, it should be pretty sweet.

Dunno what switches these actually have, but they look like Cherry MX based on the keycaps. I bought one for myself.

It's got the red grounding sticker on it, which apparently is a fingerprint for FMR, that's why I thought it was that. Maybe it's not though, I don't know who wrote that or how accurate it is

Actually I think this is almost definitely Cherry MX. I just noticed that it looks almost identical to my Amtelco. Most likely Devlin made it too.

A bunch of NOS G80-3700's just popped up; these are the HQAUS model (PS/2, black on white doubleshots).
$49.99 BIN + shipping
It's a little more than I would pay but I like it enough to say it's worth it.

Seller upped the price $5. The first one sold too quickly for their liking

Damn. Can't believe I missed that!
Someone posted it here apparently without really knowing what it is, and 10 minutes later everything was sold.
I would have bought all 5 without even taking the risk of making an offer and having to wait for an answer.
Well, at least 3 sold to DT members
