Actually just half a gift (dad covered the shipping expenses )
Just a peek for now:



Just got her and she has Cherry MX Blacks.

Some caps are shiny (like the enter and space), but, because they are double shot, I have an idea how to un-shine them

I'll update with higher quality at the end of the week, or next week, but I was too impatient now.

I kind of like the contrast between the yellowed case, and the unyelowed keycaps and blue accents

That's amazing! Looks like an Olivetti to me. And dyesub too. Your dad is great!

Nice PBT spacebar. Reminds me of my mellow yellow NMB space invader board:

Evenly yellowed cases don't look bad at all so long as the caps remain white. Nice present!

Nice caps, I love that blue. Always looks great. Congrats derzemel.

Yes, it's an Olivetti KBD 2812. The keycaps are double shots (I wished that they would have been dyesub )

In the weekend I'll take her apart to do a through cleaning and take plenty of pictures

Congrats!

Definitely a nice thing

Wow! Nice present!

Is that the one with the PS2 broken connector? Damn I wanted to buy it!

nice grab!

it sure looks like thick PBT dyesubs and not doubleshots, really strange. I'm looking for italian/portuguese Olivetti doubleshots for quite some time as well (I have a mint Olivetti KBD2812 but in portuguese dyesubs).

as for cleaning that caps, first of all try to soak them using dental tabs (2 for a keyset) for 3-5h, rinse and then do a retrobright session (however the % of H2O2) at least 48h straight, using UV at night and sun light during the day! hope it helps
