Alps or alps clones with doubleshots. It's wanted mostly for those keycaps.

All three look quite clean, the Model F is reasonably priced. Yes IBM Model F XT is quite sturdy. Great keyboard if you don't mind the XT layout and the conversion. Good find.

Could be a Filco DFK-81E2 JIS, not sure though.

I don't remember which product number, but I'm 90% sure that's a Strong Man made Alps board.

Filco FKB89J. Nice!

I've got a thing for compact vintage keyboards, a collect 'em all kind of mentality. If you ever decide you no longer want it... :)

The seller will let the Bondwell go for $40 if you send a PM.

Damn those Bondwell 8T laptops are always so clean! Someone could have a nice linear Cream Alps find

Posted: 23 Feb 2016, 00:46
by Redmaus
So you know for a fact that the bondwell is linear cream?

Posted: 23 Feb 2016, 01:58
by Blaise170
Interesting that Bondwell used really obscure switch types! Linear Creams and Cherry MX Dark Blues.

Posted: 23 Feb 2016, 02:16
by Redmaus
Just sent the seller an offer. I am quite curious about linear cream. I will be sure to add photos to wiki as well :)

EDIT: Got it for 68$ total

Posted: 23 Feb 2016, 02:58
by Chyros
Could the linear creams be the same ones used as spacebar switches on Zeniths? Probably a fairly heavy board in that case. The MX Navy Blues look awesome, very curious about them :D .

This isn't exactly a great/interesting find but I thought I'd point out that Elite Keyboards is now taking preorders for the 45g 87U which they say is arriving March 10th-12th.

http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php? ... =rf_se19e0

I only bring it up because this has been out of stock for at least a couple years.

I'm tempted to pick one of these up simply because it's BNIB but it might benefit you guys more over across the pond :)

Cherry G80-3000 LQMHU (Hungarian ISO, MX Clears?)

$100? Balls to that. So long as no eejit pulls the trigger I'm sure the seller with see sense and lower the price.

Should be 1999 clears, so probably half decent.. Not exactly old, but they shouldn't be the sandpaper garbage that Cherry makes today.

Incredibly uncommon, but it's lasered..

Finding non POS G80's in the US is uncommon.

That's a sweet deal.

Posted: 23 Feb 2016, 06:35

I figured the kinesis would have been long gone by now. Is there something wrong with it?

Posted: 23 Feb 2016, 06:37
by Tuntematon
The older Kinesis models only go for about $100 to $120 in good condition, I think. It's still a pretty good deal, but maybe the keycap is enough to slow the sale.

EDIT: This one does not appear to be yellowed. a lot of them are. Also, it has Dvorak sublegends. Pretty cool. Someone buy it.

This looks like THIN pbt lasered to me. Also high risk of off-center bottom row caps. Wouldn't take the risk ...
Also be aware there's "Q" keyboards that come with MX Blacks. Make the seller take off a bottom row cap :)
