I'm pretty sure most people would just want the whole board... the keycaps aren't that interesting without it, really.

I'd love to take just the keycaps, but they probably would be too expensive for me right now.

I think the most interesting thing about it are the vintage Blacks. Those seem to be from the same era as the Nixdorf switches.

Yeah, it's the vintage blacks that i want to keep for a custom keyboard i plan on making, but have no interest in the keycaps and i was wondering how much they value.
I got the keyboard for free, it was destined for recycling.

How much could I ask for 87 Cherry MX green switches, with 4 months of low usage, taken off from a Code keyboard?
A few of them may need a bit of cleaning, because of a lubing experiment, still working flawlessly though.
No picture because I still have to desolder them.

What about a 105-key ISO layout Filco Majestouch 2? It has MX Brown switches, good condition, boxed, can include original key caps although they're not really worth anything IMO and these have a fair amount of wear/shine on them I'd say.
Would price it in GBP since I'm in the UK.

I asked for a price check on these and a loaddd of other items a while back, but I'm starting to really consider selling these.. I just have no idea what they're realistically worth.
IBM 3278 Beamspring. Very dirty on the outside, but I've been told by some who know much more about Beamsprings than I that the internals are immaculate. The foam is still intact, etc.
IBM 50 key model F/M mix 1392254 thingy. Seems to be absolutely unused but stored in some kind of damp area, so the springs and plate are corroded.
NCR 3077 with ANSI dyesubs, Leeku PCB, 65g Nixdorf blacks (CLEAR TOPS SWAPPED FOR BLACK ONES).. Was thinking somewhere around $350-400 ($250 for raw NCR, remainder for Leeku PCB, switches, assembly)
NCR 3007 (light grey one) with ISO PCB, vintage blues lightly lubed with oil. No caps.

The beamspring should be an easy $300, but probably more, given how long those stay up on ebay for that price.

Anyone know about this? A price in Euros would be fine too.

How much do SSKs go for these days? I am considering starting a hunt for one, but I've no idea how much should I expect to pay, and what would be a "good deal". Thanks!

Well, with Cindy (elecplus) closing the warehouse and elecshopper.com going offline, you are just a few months late for getting a "good" deal. I think in the US they start around 2-300$ on eBay.

Shadovved on GH is selling a whole lot of SSKs for $185 shipped.

America is always the place to be. People better grab those quick!
You sometimes see them here on DT. Always over £100, often well above. My first SSK wound up costing that plus an evil excess of import tax.

If you don't already have one, definitely buy!
It's one of those boards one must have. Perfect in so many ways.
Just remember that customs will probably get you.

Hmm. Got a link?
UK customs would charge at least £40 on top of that, likely much more. Apparently that's to protect all our own local vintage keyboard manufacturing…

Aargh, my eyes!
Nice keyboards though. Thanks for the link. Anyone looking for their first SSK ought to act fast. And pray for luck with the customs declaration!

There's an industrial on eBay with bolt mods that you can get for only $1000.

...would say 60% of the purchase price for the QF XT (around 45 $).

Hey,

Thx in advance
