Tempting. I've always loved the feeling of typing on a microwave keypad.

That is why I'm only interested in NIB models because we are talking about Alps here and that switch, is always best left unmolested.

You will need that special sound (from a speaker) when selecting the individual switches.

Just like my old Microwave

I sure miss my old Amana Radarange. Wind up timer and a bell that went "Ding!" Had it so long that I was almost too old to carry it out of the house when it finally died.

No idea but that might actually sell for that hyped price. The inflation continues...

I own that same keyboard, pretty nice but XT protocol.

Which one? The NCR? Those caps look lasered to me, are they?

seebart · 18 Jan 2018, 10:24

Not the same keyboard my error sorry. Those keycaps do look lasered.

No, he's not. He's a nice guy, though, who mostly restores video game consoles. I got another 12XX Dario board exactly like that one from him before he wisened up, finding that ominous 1000€ eBay auction from not too long ago through Google. He also has a 3000 Dario but doesn't want to sell it as his first name is actually Dario and he wants to preserve a complete 'Dario' system. His first listing of this board was for 999€...

Lexmark was weird like that. My Unsaver has a mid-1990s "Model M" label although it is totally a Model F.

I think that they took them in, refurbished them, and just slapped new "M" labels on them.

Got this today in amazing condition. Incredibly beautiful! And works (mostly) with a Soarer's XT converter. Ah, those super-vintage Blacks...

scottc · 18 Jan 2018, 20:46

Cool, I have the more yellow/orange version, it's a cool board

I think it's XT too so perfectly usable (ish).

Here's something for all the PINK alps fanatics;

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-Wan ... SwRTVaW6ws

I've bought from them before and they are stand up guys when dealing with them, so relax they won't rip anyone off.

Love the fact that when you fling out this Wang, it's indeed Pink

. Although mine has always been Black....

Not gonna touch that one...even with someone else's twenty foot pole.

seebart · 19 Jan 2018, 10:35

Those "pinkies" are salmons, no more no less. IF that WANG is in very good condition like the seller claims then the price is fair.

They'll be Chicony rubber dome boards presumably.
