Leading Edge DC 2214, blue Alps, 101-key ANSI layout
« on: Sun, 31 August 2014, 03:20:54 »
I think many (most? all?) of these are white Alps, since they were produced a bit later than the DC-2014/3014 keyboards which used blue Alps switches, but it’s a nice standard 101-key ANSI layout and thick doubleshot keycaps:

True.

An open auction is not a "Great Find" because it is something that will seek its own price.

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

I think that depends on how popular it is. Blue alps always shoot way up.
