The AT/XT switchable keyboard with white alps that you have listed is most definitely an omnikey 102 - quite possibly one that used to have a gold label - I'm guessing from 1989. At a $50 list price someone should jump on this right away - this is an amazing pickup IMO.

Not an Omnikey 102. Close, but no cigar. http://stanis.net/uvpub/omnikey102at21.gif
Look at the bottom row of keys. Mine has winkey tabs, and the 102 has keys there.

Nope, Its an early model Omnikey 102. Those look different from the later ones, and have a good chance of coming with blue alps, although they have been known to come with early white alps, just like this one.

Good price on the green ALPS WYSE boards. I'm still trying to figure out if I want to attempt to convert mine or just harvest switches.

Like Mike said, it's an early omnikey 102. The reason I'm so confident is because I'm typing on that exact board right now: white alps, gold logo, omnikey 102! =P

It's hands down the best feeling/sounding white alps I have, and I assume that's because they are pretty early white alps, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

So you want me to re-list it as an Omnikey 102, early model, and raise the price

I was waiting for that! Hahaha! Someone buy it quick!!!

It seems there are problems with the checkout on the site. People are getting messages that this is a duplicate invoice, or invoice already paid, or something similar. Very sorry; this is a PayPal snafu.

Just PM what u want, along with your complete mailing address, phone, and email, and I will give u the total. Then u can pay by PayPal.

The Compaq G80-1838HPU has been sold now.

I'm actually kind of miffed that I missed that Compaq G80; I had it in my cart and I was gonna take like 5 min to decide on it. Whoever got it got a hell of a deal though.

If you are not too interested in the keycaps, I would put them to good use...

Fully tested IBM PC AT keyboard, complete. It does need a good cleaning though. https://www.elecshopper.com/ibm-persona ... ested.html

That Qtronix MX board is pretty nice too. Are the caps double-shots? Would be worth it for those alone.

Yes, double shots. And when I tested it, all those blank relegendables corresponded to known keys on the matrix.

The check out is working again, and I have 5 orders to ship on Monday. Thanks guys!

Surprisingly, the AT and the Northgate are still there...

I was thinking about buying this one. Ah well. Anyone else interested?

Sorry Xmit. I thought you had declined it.

Nice, but the shipping to Australia is RIDICULOUS

elecplus wrote: Sorry Xmit. I thought you had declined it.

Yeah, I don't really need it. Time to spread around the Hall effect love. Whoever picks it up, please post photos here!

Oh man, do you really have 48 of those SDL cables?

Might have to grab me one or two of them, for the grand total of 0 model M's i own...

48 left, yes. A few have sold
Clickykeyboards does an outstanding job of refurbishing Model Ms. I offer a few once in awhile, but I don't do the bolt mods and things he does. I test them, and wipe down if really grungy, but most people like to do their own bolt mods and deep cleaning.

I'm bringing it home to Raleigh.
I will post photos.

That bored kind of looks like a ibm beamspring. Lol
is that hall effect board usable, or rather easy to make usable?
