It kind of looks like an old Wyse

"Teken" is obviously a Dutch word. That spelling is not found in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish or German.

@Findecanor It indeed is! I mixed up the "EXTRA TEKEN" and "FUNK" keys in my head, so I originally wrote the key said "EXTRA FUNK". Although this would be a truly amazing key to have on a keyboard — who DOESN'T want extra funk?!

I found it in the Netherlands so indeed it most likely is. I edited my post.

Anybody knows what this is?

Finally one I can almost certainly identify.


This is from a Mai basic 4 terminal. I have a very, very similar model, a 4314 keyboard iirc. Anyway, it has 3rd gen FLS. Reading some documentation and stuff it seems these could also come with rubber domes.

I would bet on that being FLS3 or domes; probably domes as this doesn't have the nice PBT dye-subs mine does.

Thanks for the lead! I found this page which looks to have the same keyboard: https://archiwum.allegro.pl/oferta/star ... 09903.html

I'll try to find out if it has rubber domes, but it feels like it. Definitely nothing clicky.

Yeah I would stay away from this one. Not in great shape and I'd say it's VERY likely it has domes.

It's already in my possession Maybe I can pass it to someone who could use it for parts.

Can you not remove a keycap to check switches? haha

Here's a shot of a switch:

Yeah, thought so. Key Tronic foam and foil.

It's clicky and sounds really good.

Thanks!

ok, found it, it's a podworld

Is this one the same?

I'm not the owner, I thought of buying it but I think it's too expensive for what it is.

Luggable PC, lots of variations in these. Some are Alps, others are MX, maybe someone can tell from the caps (I can't). One version here, others in older posts if you search "luggable":

I've never seen an IBM keyboard like that. The stems remind me of foam and foil, do other keys have springs under them?

i dont know much detail about this one since i saw it in chinese used market .
The seller did mention that "springs" are in good condition and the identification label at the back is torn and impossible to read .

i will try to buy it and do further analysis

Another interesting IBM find.

Anyone knows what this is?

I think I saw an Ebay listing for one of those a while ago where the seller pulled a keycap and it was foam and foil

ah i see you too are from my city. saw that on kijiji as well. i just missed out on a beautiful green-keyed vintage terminal keyboard he had a couple weeks ago...

speaking of which... does anyone know what this is? I missed out on it but am obsessed with the colors!

nvm figured it out -- it's a 1978 harris smart terminal!

Very nice find! I'd actually been looking for one of those for a long time xD .

the Harris? someone bought it the day before I messaged the seller, so it slipped through my hands. i'll be scouring the earth for one now, I'm in love

he was selling his old keyboards for $5. if i picked that thing up for $5 i would probably cry.

I know the person who got it. I am still salty because I messaged him months ago when the listing went up as there were no pics of the keyboards. I was quite rudely told that he wouldn't take pics, so I passed on the listing only for the seller to post pics later and for that other person to get it...oh well.
