I'm still in awe at just how pristine and not yellow these boards all are. I've got a good portion of these but they're not nearly as pretty. Well done!
If I were you I'd just fabricate a new knob. Get a nice section of your favorite hardwood, turn it on a lathe and epoxy in a threaded section. At least that way you could use the thing.

(Nice necro, XMIT. They’re not always bad.

Fair wee collection that. Still short a few sixties, for my taste. How about one of those beamspring sixties? They’re my particular $COSTLY whale.

The backgrounds are quite trippy. When I see the Symbolics, I think for an instant the image is rotated around, so dazzled by the sequence!
Also: where’s the AppleDesign keyboard?

Don't mess around too much with that! It messes up your reward system and eventually drains your wallet. At least that's what I've heard...

Hi Sinnerman,
I’ve been following your collection thread for a while, and I just had to comment — your keyboards are incredible! I’m especially blown away by your G80-1000, it’s in such amazing condition.
I’m a huge fan of vintage Cherry boards and have been searching for a G80-1000 for ages. Would you consider selling it? If yes, please let me know your preferred way to handle the transaction (payment, shipping, etc.), and I’ll make it as smooth as possible for you.
Thanks again for sharing these beautiful pieces with the community!
