How much could I get for 87 Yellow Kailhs?

I don't know if anyone would be hugely interested in buying them... like €5? €10 maybe at a stretch? Probably not much, if anything.

Thanks for the advice! About what I was expexting. If I would be looking for QWERTZ keys, those would be quite a deal. Really nice and thick.

30-40€ for a SAD set, really? Any original Cherry dye-sub set is at least 40€ worth to me.

Grr!

I mean it depends whether you're buying or selling. I like the look of those caps, but not enough to spend over 40 Euros. The bottom row has pain written all over it for my 1.25u mod boards. Because to complete the set, you're in with the sharks…

Do dyesub PBT winkey bottom rows even exist?

No, unfortunately not. 40€ for a SAD sounds about right though, anything below that is a nice bargain.

Ninjed.

I assume not. But my knowledge of Cherry arcana is super weak. If thy do, they'll cost five arms and six legs, maybe more depending on condition.

And the Koreans will gladly pay that!

I agree, especially considering doubleshot sets did and presumably will sell for almost 40€ on eBay.

There was that one guy that bought 7 ISO sets so he could use the shifts to have a dyesub 1.25 bottom row but then that's neither practical nor sane.

To fill the bottom row with Shift keys?

Yup, I'm sure someone else will come up with the pics shortly but if not I'll dig them up when I get home.

No original Cherry dyesubs didn't come in 1.25 mods. Cherry ceased dyesub production well before Windows keys was a thing.

Aye, I reckoned that. What I couldn't rule out (with my limited knowledge) was some oddball layout without Winkeys but with a compressed bottom row for some other reason. Ah well.

That one always tickles me..

They made the Koala in winkeyless too. They even made it in 1.5/7 bottom row WITH 1u winkeys if he needed them so badly!

Today I found a IBM 3278-2 computer terminal from my basement. It was there lying around in dust with some scrapes here and there. Keyboard was sadly missing I don't know if it is working, but I plan to find out this weekend.

I am curious what is this beauty worth.

That guy is a fucking genius!

Hi
I've got 2 Acer keyboards, an Acer 6012 with White ALPS and an Acer 6312 with Acer Blacks.

The 6012 is in a pretty good condition, almost no yellowing exept for the wrist rest (most noticeable around the arrow cluster) and it's got a little scratch at the wrist rest as well.

The 6312 has a very uneven yellowing, almost as it has stood by a window where half has been protected by a computer screen and there is marks left from where the fn keys threw their shadows.

Any idea what this ANSI board with Cherry MX clears and Reuters logo (G80-3234LPMEU) could be worth?
Thanks!

Thanks!

What's the year of production? If those are oldish, smooth clears it's definitely worth something (to me at least)! I'm sure some people would pay a bit for that case too.

Is it NKRO ?

2KRO

Year of production: N06, so 2001 according to the wiki.
Not really vintage I guess, even if produced before some of our members even knew what a keyboard is for

I think I can see wires in the LED recesses of the switches.
In any case, each switch shows 4 soldering points on the back of the PCB.
Of course I don't know it this has anything to do with KRO.

I'd say.. somewhere around 30-50EUR?

In parts..

Keycaps 0-5EUR
Case/cable 10-15EUR
PCB & switches 25-30EUR

Well thanks, perhaps I'll be putting it for sale.
These are probably favourable times for selling ANSI boards

Sales for the Geekhack rescue fund?

My Geekhack benefit sale is at €0.66 at the moment, so I'm not sure anybody is really very interested in rescuing Geekhack.

That is an interesting and disturbing point.
