Title: IBM 5576 Notched Case and Taiwanese/Mainland Chinese subs (unknown switch type)
Post by: chen.child on Wed, 06 March 2019, 08:28:55

IBM 5576 dual sub legends NIB (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-IBM-5576-Keyboard-Personal-system-55-Colored-Sub-Legends-Beyond-Rare-NIB/113674473463?hash=item1a7786cff7:g:~UkAAOSwb~5catS3&frcectupt=true)
BIN $1,500, free shipping (from San Diego)

looks interesting, price notwithstanding. According to the description, its possibly one of a kind as of now. I would love to figure out what switch type is inside though. (vint noob btw)

I believe this is a clone and not even legit IBM Japan.
