L3 Communications Telemetry West Keyboard

This is a cool board. The case is all metal and it has a hexadecimal keypad. It is vintage KeyTronic foam and foil - so be prepared for that. I converted one with the xwhatsit Model F USB and I really like it:

Unfortunately, the price on this one ($199 + shipping) is way out of line in my opinion. If you can get it with a low ball offer and are willing to convert it, however, I think it's a great board.

Huh I was just looking at think just before you posted this. No way I'd pay close to $200 though.

Dunno about you—but if I saw that on my own, my first thought would be "Beam spring!"

Okay then, how about this somewhat similar board for half as much?








It has a cable, too, which the 1st one apparently doesn't. (What would you guys do without me?)

I knew about that one I just didn't share  ;) I put an offer in for it.

Ah. Sorry. Just curious, though: What can you do with two of these that you can't do with one?

I guess I don't follow what you mean by a second one. I don't own one of these but put an offer in for the second one on eBay which is half the price as the first one posted here.
