It's gonna replace the awesome looking / shitty sounding Sennheiser MD 402-K. Before I found the Beyerdynamic I was thinking of pulling everything out and sticking a regular mic inside the the case so I can keep the looks and have it usable as well.

Oh please don't do that until the capsule is rotten/stuck, these are cool mics for recording guitar cabs.
Too bad it has jack output, model U is more easy to work with being XLR. Should be unbalanced.
If you want to get rid of it, drop me a line.

hypkx, you were faster than I with the planck

derp

I can't seem to stop buying keyboards, just noticed Unicomp were selling some new in box model m's on their site. Granted they're the later Lexmark models but I just couldn't pass up the $80 deal.

You're not alone in that here. Although once you get most of what you want to try or set out to get things start to mellow out. Unobtanium is the joker, get lucky or have more patience.

I don't even know if it will start to mellow out. I literally buy multiples of the same keyboard sometimes because I can't bare to see them sold to another person and I have become somewhat obsessive. There's something wrong with me!

Well then you're worse than me. But it's OK don't worry.

CSC Computer Keyboard, you can already see some of that PCB shining through the back
I'm hoping it's Siemens STB although I would be happy with RAFI as well

It surely has STBs. I saw the auction but had no time to take care of it, so I only added the item to my watch list. When I found time for going through it on Sunday, it was already gone. I was worried and thought about contacting the seller, because it has those elliptical relabeling caps on the function keys, which I previously only new from the Siemens catalogue but I have never seen them on a real board. So please do make pictures of them that we can add to the wiki.
Also interesting, but not unusual for small-market boards of the mid-1980s, is the blend of German with bitpaired ISO for the labels.
So, congratulations, good news that it's you who's got it.

D:

You seem like a dragon hoarding treasure.

I guess I can't say I'm that much better. I have like fiv--er SIX Xerox keyboards that are all very similar to each other yet I don't want to sell any of them.

Though going out of your way to buy more so others can't have them... Do I do that? I'm not sure if I do, but if I did, it seems a little cruel.

Is the 6110344 the F122 with those sweet blue sub-legends?

Also, the keyboard was apparently manufactured in mid-1986, is that possible? From what I had previously seen, I thought F122s were only made up into 1985.

(The photo of the keyboard is pretty bad, but I think I can spot a missing key at the bottom-left corner; hope it isn't hard to replace)

Oh, man, where do you keep finding these 6110344s Keycap in the lower left is the one with small square with a right arrow pointing to the bigger square. It also has something printed on the front. y11971alex got one recently so he might help you get a better pic, but I would say it is not that common a keycap.

I feel I was quite lucky with this one, stumbled onto this on eBay and nabbed it for about ~$60 shipped, a very fair price in my opinion.

The photos of the board are pretty bad and the date seems odd to me, but when I was pretty thrilled when I saw that it was listed as a 6110344 keyboard.

It looks like the missing key is normally 'Setup' on other F122s, hmmm, I guess if I can't find a replacement I'd be okay with that key, since the legend is blue too.

Yes, but my keycaps are one part, not the double layer type on the Model M.

Is that supposed to be better or worse?

Just got this. Should be model M like.

Wow, looks awesome! It would be fun to get the display to work.

It absolutely would! But from the looks of the keyboard, I would say that the logic was in the typewriter body. We'll see

I wanted also to buy something like this, but the seller wanted don't wanted to ship the typewriter and he said it is not possible to plug the cable from external keyboard out.

Btw I bought some 55g springs for my next project.

Bought two Model Ms more. The others.

Awesome, I'm thinking of getting one the korean ones from ebay @ 40" / 4k. Pretty sure I can't afford yours

I picked up a new router, a switch and an AP on my way home from work today.

its just over 500 GBP

the Korean ones are good but i want the support and returns from a UK distro.

Same panel as far as i know.

I just picked up the Cyrillic M2 that was posted in the Great Finds thread. Its caps will go on my Lexmark M15, which should make for an exotic combination.

That is a nice set of caps

if you ever scrap the rest of the board i could do with a few springs

Thanks! PM'd you.

And if you don't have a need for backaspace and 0/Ins keycap, let me know

Oh what a great purchase. My current setup is composed by 4 full hd displays (not exactly, one of them is a 4:3 1600x1200).

I would like to replace them all by one 40" 4k and use it with 4 split video sources, but I will have to wait until the day mines suddenly break down at the same time to justify it.

Are you using it as a whole display or doing some split?

whole display but i will manage it with the windows snap to corner

how is the overall use with windows? I thought they would lag a bit.
That's why I am just using an 27" 4k LG monitor..
