$10 Tandem Computers 840358-25 with Cherry Blacks (2 Hours Left!)
« on: Mon, 16 November 2015, 13:22:22 »
A good looking vintage terminal keyboard wthat actually has a picture with a cap removed, revealing the authentic Cherry MX Black switch. Nicely sculpted OEM DCS profile rows. The arrow keys are interesting too. Double-shot (confirmed, thanks JD!), maybe dye-sub? For 10 bucks, this could be a very affordable harvest at the very least, but just be aware that it has the telephone style (RJ11?) plug.

2 hours left at the time of posting though.

Rebranded WYSE PCE keyboard. Old or possibly vintage MX blacks (probably a combination of both), and usable with a modern PC with Soarer's WYSE converter.

Caps will be double shot ABS, in SP's DCS profile. Caps were made by Comptec, who got acquired by SP.
