just found thoose today...

Where on Earth did you find all of these?

Looking to sell any?

LOOK AT ALL THOSE LOCKS!

Man, shame you're just too late for Stash of the Year award xD .

I did a review on one of these a while ago btw:
EDIT: did any of them come with the keys by any chance?

I'm not too greedy, I only want one board or ~70 switches for my swappable 60% / 65% mx board.

HOLY SHIT

I'm interested!

I don't really like them specifically but you will be able to sell those easily for a trillionbillion (not to me)...too bad no CT11 though.

But these are bigger, what's not to love?

I'm betting you've got at least 5 PMs by now

You're right Tom more nixies for the trolls, CT11 is for the connoisseur (just kidding). Interesting how all these are green label ones.

It is rediculous how rediculous a find of 16 old and dirty keyboards is. Especially when the sought after part is the switches, of which almost identical pieces are fabricated en masse right now.
Gratz!

quite easy actually just ask my dad what keyboards they used in the 90s and turns out their company was one of the first that signed a contract with siemens to get those, yesterday he calls me that he found a bunch in an old warehouse

I don't think so but I've never owned one of these with a green label.

I totally believe that! Does not suprise me at all.

I'm going to say right now that these will be eligible for DTA 7. Why? It was posted after the call for nominations ended.

I agree, I'd back that .

Just a shame there's no keys. I was constantly playing with the lock and key on mine xD .

That's quite an amazing haul. Congrats on the find!

I haven't tried any Nixies. Having read reviews reporting their key feel is indistinguishable from vintage blacks, I'm contended if I can try some Nixies just for a day or two.

Probably you have the idea about how much they may cost already. If not, here're some reference so you know you can possibly get your dad some real nice Christmas presents.

Wtf is going on with Nixies price ? Is this the same hype that follow the Blue alps craze ?
