Sony BKE9400A
« on: Sat, 18 October 2014, 15:09:10 »
Hardly a great find, I'm just wondering how it's up to $120 shipped already. Maybe someone's looking for Topre caps and doesn't realize that this is the omron one. It's still overpriced either way, though.

that's why I always feel the 'interesting find' of deskthority was the one proper name for the subforum like this :))

fwiw - These aren't all topre. I'm not sure if there is a way to tell w/ buying or asking the seller to pull a cap though.

Ones with rectangular windowed caps are omron; circular windows mean Topre. I unfortunately found out the hard way, but at least it gives me some interesting caps for my kingsaver.

yeah, I saw when this first came up on eBay (I keep track of 9400A's because I want one now) noticed it was the non-topre (alps or omron I think) and LOL'd at the bidding.
