Haata has a bunch of pics of one similar here but the one I purchased is slightly different. The one I purchased was part of a Teletype Model 40 with info here. I would love to eventually find the rest of it.

Note: I didn't pay anywhere near the asking price.

Congrats. Can't wait to see more.

Snuci gets all cool stuff Look forward to pictures as well!

That beamspring keyboard still has not been bought.

It's too expensive. No one pays $700+ for a beamspring

yeah, that would be totally stupid. There's a golden beamspring rule. Never pay more than 300$ for a Beamspring, except it has golden keys.

That is an amazing idea, 24K gold plated beamspring bro caps.

I usually re-frame from this sort of thing, but you need to really stop spamming. This is a pretty slow forum as it is, and you're in half of the spy page.

It's nice and all that you got a kishsaver, but anyone who spent enough could have bought one. I have had 5 OTD boards at once in my collection among other 4704's and even more when the boards meant more to me than money, but I didn't spam like a nutcase.

Too much coffee yesterday.

Or did you mean too much covfefe ?

El_Barto, Coffee + Kishsaver = Great Excitement

Alright, it's cool I understand. Of course it's enough if you show us your Kish in ONE thread !

To be honest he didn't even spend that much getting it, I spent twice that on an industrial SSK. He just got very lucky.

What's the fair price of a Kish, and where to get one?

Well everyone that has them doesn't want to sell them, even those that own multiple of them. The funny thing is, if someone found a case full of F77's the people with multiple f62's would expect the f77 owner to sell a board to them even though they would never sell theirs, I really do hate hoarders sometimes.

@Mr.Nobody

What a "fair price" is can be a good question in its own right: usually people judge it from past examples. Given the rarity of these Kishy boards, I think this question can be quite difficult to answer.

Now waiting for the experts to appear.

Dude you have three of them, I bet there's one you have barely used that is just sitting around somewhere when it could be sold to someone else that would restore it if needed and use it as their main board. AKA me Besides, an F62 for an F77 wouldn't be a fair trade, the 77 keys are far more rare. But still, just imagine someone found a few f77's and refused to sell them to you even though you've been hunting that board for ages. It gets kind of annoying, who really needs multiple of the same board? I'm not having a go at you btw, it just is really frustrating.

This is starting to sound like the Unsaver thread awhile back. Then I found 8 of them, and the world went nuts. Still looking for F62 and F77 though. Never have found one in over 2 years of scrounging!

Not a single piece F62/77 has leaked into domestic market of China, amazing security job...

I bought a synth 2.0 from techkeys.

Today I bought a pair of Lets Split pcbs, to abuse them as numpads/macropads.
