What are the specs on that bad boy ?

We need to upgrade our big projectors in work

3 kW for 20k lumens is a bit high nowadays

Ugh. I hate projectors with color wheels -- I've seen so many borked ones that it isn't even funny. Even a shitty LCD projector with terrible pixel pitch is quieter, more reliable, and generally has better contrast.

I know nothing about projectors but I have a very good friend that's a projector dealer / repair guy / etc. He's been using the Benq W5000 at home for years because it had the best image quality from all the shit he had available. I've watched countless movies on that model and I always found it flawless.

Now my friend found a new king of the hill but I can't afford this one yet : http://www.projectorcentral.com/JVC-DLA-X9.htm http://imgur.com/a/nDVIB

P.S. This is my current projector : http://www.projectorcentral.com/Optoma-HD72.htm so any upgrade is a big upgrade.

moar stuff

Just putting this here as a teaser, I've come across something phenomenal (for me at least!), really hoping things go through and will be posting more if they do!

Okay, so everything worked out, I am incredibly ecstatic, will be putting up a separate post in a little bit!

Edit: Here it is!

OAK keypad with partially transparent rusty switches. Very squeaky. Keycaps fit very tightly.
Pardon poor image quality. I can do better ones if anyone's interested in hi-res rust.

Wow, my kind of keypad. Too bad it's "squeaky", but fixable for sure. Those keycaps are thick like Honeywells.

And got it for ~<2EUR shipped ^^

Just addded some more photos to the last post.

2 Euros well spent! Thanks for sharing.

Great find, and for that price . Do you have any info on those switches?

Nope. The only OAK switches I found any info on are [wiki]Oak_Full-Travel_Membrane[/wiki].

$50 Ebay charity find! - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-IBM-Mod ... 2084761855

Some stuff I've found in my mailbox lately:

Ugly skulls, cool tools, fabulous flippers!

They aren't that bad but I agree, not everyone's cup of tea!

Ladder song was appreciated!

So many keyboard things lately... T_T

Chicony KB-5160:




NEC APC-H412:




old Dolch Inet Turbo-7:




black 1800 HQU w/WoB keycaps: (potato photo incoming)





non keyboard related...I also got myself one of these, an Amazon Echo. It's surprisingly cool to have around...I recommend it!

What kind of switches are in the Dolch Inet Turbo keyboard? The keycaps look a bit like Taihao doubleshots, so that could mean either Alps or Cherry.
Also great find on the g80-1800!

should be vintage mx blues. Hopefully they feel as nice as they do on a regular PAC.

The cherry board is a G81 but TMK the caps/case are pretty uncommon so I picked it up anyways.

That's a very nice 1800, jerue. Or it seems so, looking at the photato

I got this all the way (!) from Denmark the other day:

Great one, Khers! And it looks super clean.

I also have one, it's a very nice keyboard. I've no usage for it though, I might put it on sale one day.

Thanks!

It's very clean and both keycaps and case show little signs of wear Unfortunately it's horribly yellow. I think I will have a little retrobright setup going during the summer and this is one of the prime candidates...

This: http://www.ebay.de/itm/222157277134
Two Space Invader terminal boards, will most likely sell/give away/trade the other one.

Wow! That's crazy cheap!

Very nice Nuum I like NMB switches and caps a lot !
Have a NIB linear one (that I prefer to my cherries) and recently a clicky one but a bit dirty inside so I can't really enjoy its sweetness yet.. Some of my lasts stuff 2 of some uncommon dye subbed sets of caps one cherry and one IBM, I don't think I have to precise which/what to you guys

One of my life's goals ... Find proper replacement keycaps for a PurePro:

Ok, I don't know how the seller did it, but the keyboards arrived today. They both came with their boxes and wrapped cables, one of the keyboards itself was still wrapped, so this one is probably NIB. The condition of both is awesome.
They feature linear white NMB Hi-Tek switches, I would have preferred tactile/click switches but I can't complain for that price. They have a RJ12 connector and could probably be adapted to USB with Soarer's converter.

Does anyone want to trade the (probably) NIB one for a donor board with clicky/tactile switches? I'd like to keep the board within Germany though, since I think those keycaps are pretty rare over here.

When will it end...found a SSK for pretty cheap ($110) because of "water damage", but the membranes and internals are all still working. Prime candidate for a good cleaning and bolt mod

Nice! I love those Commodore boards. Looks like it's in really good shape. I got this Unitech K959 for close to nothing, the other one I already have has plate mounted MX blacks, it could have some other switch though.
