Yeah, namely GH. If you want dibs announce your intentions over there too. So long as you provide pretty pictures after most folks play nice.

Webwit is one of the Symbolics knowledgeable members on DT. He may be able to tell us if 2800 is an acceptable price

If an industrial SSK goes for £1000, then yes, it is probably justified xD .

Ugh, scarcity! I'm too cheap to play the load blowing game. I'd like a Symbolics, sure, but four figures is pretty stupid, according to my cheapskate's sense of value at least!

That one's in nice shape though. If anyone around here happens to pick it up, spoil us with pictures and lore…

I know the bottom row has a very high possibility to have off centered stems, but it seems to be free.
I got it, the bottom row stems are off centered. The case is really nice.
Now I can understand why people don't like Cherry MY switches. The whole keyboard feel like somebody had played with it in a sandbox. I tested before I got the keyboard only old Cherry MY switches, that are very different from the new MY switches.

That's incredible vintage russian stuff hypkx! :shock:
Tolles Teil aus der Computersteinzeit:
mäßig funktionierende Tatstatur aus einer sowjetischen Rechendampflok ISKRA 111 (aus den 70-ern mit Technologie der 50-er).
Hat bis zum Schluss funktioniert. Habe die Maschine zerlegt, weil die Tastatur ausgeleiert ist und ich mit den Nixies was anderes vorhabe.

Die 6 bleibt meistens hängen, vielleicht hilft auch eine gründliche Reinigung

Weitere Teile sind verfügbar, bitte anfragen bzw. in die anderen Auktionen schauen.

Focus FK-8000 with working calculator, £25 BIN

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAGITRONIC-CL ... 4aed7fa401

The board is not rare, but it's not very often you see one with a working calculator, and the price is very nice. I'd get it myself if I wasn't (famously) holding out for a 5001 or 9000 to review xD .

Yes it should.

It seems to have a white "plate" and that may be an indication that it could be plastic (so a rubber dome). I do not think that the seller would mind if you give him a message asking to pull a keycap to be sure.
