NEED Keyboard Help?  I have 24 yrs experience with Keyboards: IBM, Digital, Wyse, HP, Decision Data, and more.  I have experience buying, selling, repairing and re-engineering every Keyboard ever made in the past 40 years.  I've seen it all, and I have a warehouse of hundreds of rare keyboards.  Got questions?  I will try to help you.

Welcome to geekhack! Glad to have someone with your knowledge and experience here.

[Battou62]

I can vouch for this guy. I recently bought some WYSE terminals from him for a good price. When can I come see the warehouse Rich?

[Photekq]

How about Cherry?

[snoopy]

Get that stack of industrial ssks out of your warehouse.

[Dubsgalore]

I sent you an email before your original post got deleted a few days ago, I never got a reply

I might call instead after work

[Defect]

Standard question.  Favorite switch?

How and why did you get started?

Dream board (real or inventive)?


And welcome

I think you are going to live to regret this offer ; )

OK, let's start with either American or British-made switch:

What can you tell us about this one?

What can you tell us about these keyboards? The switches may be RAFI, but RAFI won't respond:

If you can beat these two, we'll have to set you on vintage Cherry (M7 and earlier), and then on Alps.

Ripster, is that you?

Judging from the IP, no.

Judging from the IP, no.

But proxies!

True, but also guessing from the fact that the words geekwhack and something sarcastic are in none of his posts so far make me somewhat optimistic.

[CPTBadAss]

How come your inventory doesn't have Beamsprings. I thought ya'll hard rare boards

[dorkvader]

How come your inventory doesn't have Beamsprings. I thought ya'll hard rare boards

on his website it says he has IBM 4704 keyboards.

I am, I can't speak for anyone else

[hwood34]

Also YGPM

[heedpantsnow]

Me jokey too. Not enough sarcasm or self-righteousness to be vintage Ripster.

[tp4tissue]

Well ... hello ripster....  you know how i know it's ripster...   THE very first words out of his mouth is about how much experience he has.. and how he can HELP YOU...

RIPSTER welcome back.

[hwood34]

As long as he brings more keyboard science I'm not complaining

[Battou62]

This guy is not Ripster, I have actually talked to Rich on the phone.

Their website inventory is very much out of date. Last time I checked with them they didn't have much in the way of any Cherry boards, but they did have lot of wyse terminals.

Hi Battou:
Thanks for the kind words!  We definately do some nice terminals and keyboards.  Come on down any time.  Let me know which keyboards you want to see, and I will try to have them pulled out before you arrive.

Warehouse of keyboards you say...?
I live in Canada and can't possibly come down over to the warehouse, if you had a keyboard that I wanted, would you be able to ship it here?
Or do you not like to do that kind of stuff?

[dustinhxc]

Welcome! Have any SSKs lying around? hehe 

[jacobolus]

I have experience buying, selling, repairing and re-engineering every Keyboard ever made in the past 40 years.

What does “re-engineering” mean in this context? Any particularly noteworthy projects?

[jonathanyu]

Welcome to GH!
Have any Olivetti keyboard?

Have you spoken on the phone with BOTH ripster, and RJRelectronics?

So.. how can you determine that who is and who is not
