Shame that the seller of the first one has an out of focus back shot and covered the FCC ID in the other pic
G80-1851
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Cherry-G80-1851L ... 2093864030
Very cheap G81 that seems to have gotten very little use and somehow nobody noticed

I wouldn’t say 8.90€ shipped for a keyboard with MY switches and lasered caps is cheap.
By the way, considering his
list of completed sales,
I think it is safe to assume the seller at least reads here

Could be, but all the bidding action is from established eBayers.

No one in their right mind would spend that kind of $$$ on something like that. Ridiculous.

The fact that they aren't zero feedback accounts are a bit weird. But I agree with seebart, the $20 bid is the last sane one. Unless they know something we don't

these would be awesome in a museum...but the boards cataloged would be too old.
Now if it were a manual for a MX5000...you have my full attention

I think that I posted the keyboard receiving all of those insane bids... Magnetic Reed switches aren't worth that much. It's madness.
This is a micro switch board that's interesting:

With a 1985 build date there is a good chance it has the metal leaf variant.

Strip the keyboard out and wire it up to an Xwhatsit

A warning about Omrons by the way; although they are super duper clicky and quite fun, the switches appear to be quite electrically unreliable and they tend to fail over time for some unknown reason. If you like clicky switches they're definitely a fun switch to try out though

I strongly advise white KPT clones if you want to experience insane clickiness.

What?????
The board to the middle left, what is that? Never seen it before except that one on the wiki.

I think everyone would like to take that one. Not even a cat picture may help
If you end up with some spare bigfoots though, I may be interested.

Well it's a rare one that's for sure. And that auction will not stay low ball $$$ that's for sure also. That's why I wrote GB, those are all nice boards. Not sure if that 122 is a F or M though. The one on the top left is a 3178 Display Terminal, two Bigfoot, the 122 and the rare IBM Displaywriter Model F.

I'm pretty sure it's going to go well above my spending limit!
Yes we do have it in our wiki, it's a IBM Displaywriter Model F Keyboard.

I would totally take that F122 if it is one, but I wouldn't want the rare one because I want to keep the original caps with it and I don't like ISO
I hope someone from DT gets it though, I would love to see a thread about it.
