If anyone gets one of the 122-keys from Daniel which has the right-angle plug, and intends to throw away that original cord, I'd appreciate having it instead...

(properly detached from the inside, not cut, and with no connector or cord damage ideally)


Oh.... I threw 2 of these away (granted if the ones from the 102 terminal would have suited you)

They where the 5 pin wide spread DIN so I think they would have not worked

Arrrggg... I've got to travel for work tomorrow, so I won't be able to do anything about this tonight or tomorrow. Those who have paid: I will have to ship on Tuesday, sorry about that.

I have transported everything to my apartment, and I put in an order to Uline for boxes. I will be setting up a separate thread to manage orders, and I should have individual pictures of every single keyboard there. Everything will be $5, of course.

Those who have PMed me: you are not being ignored, just trying to get everything organized on my end. This is an awful large quantity of stuff to move.

I'll probably have quite a few leftover boards, due to the lack of keys. I can send you any cables I have leftover for the 122 key boards. The 101's, on the other hand, I have a shortage of cables for. Many of the cords of the late-model boards are frayed. Which says something about the build quality of those boards (none of the old-model boards have frayed cables). They may actually be good candidates for USB mods, since the pins on the controller are probably intact on all of them.

I should say that I can't test any of the 122 key Model M's, but I'm rather sure they all work fine. I have yet to find a single Model M in this stash which are electrically faulty; the only non-functional boards are the ones with mechanical problems (missing springs, crushed cases and the like). If I have learned anything from these, it is that Model M's are ****ing tough as hell.

This might be a futile question, but those TO-300 boards with the Cherry blacks and the "phone connector", can they be converted to DIN or something? I've been wanting to try the Blacks, and wouldn't mind doing a bit of modding if the cost of entry was $5 and some Windex. :)

[Edit]OK, some Googleing suggest that those are non-standard interfaces. Guess that doesn't work...

Big update

I got caught at an off-site job for three days longer than I anticipated, and I only have a couple of days to clean out my apartment before I leave. As such, packaging and shipping these keyboards has become a logistical impossiblility. The promised $5 per keyboard is not happening.

Fortunately, I did find a home for them on a friend's farm. They'll have to sit in his shed for a few months (years?) before I can get back to them.

Those of you who have paid me already: I am sending out paypal refunds right now. Let me know if I missed you.

Damn, I knew it was too good to be true.

At least they won't be trashed.

Oh how unfortunate. I was hoping to order a few keycaps from you at some point after you'd sorted everything out, since I'd just picked up a Model M for cheap from Goodwill that is missing a few.

Good luck with the move though, those can be such a hassle.

Would you say that these keyboards will be studied by top men?

I'm told that the bolt-modded M that I ordered from you arrived yesterday in great shape. Thanks!! I'll be home in mid-Dec and might bring it back to Brazil with me.

Did you get my PM asking if you had any PCBs that I could buy?

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I just got a Mitumi E99-ZC 12 buckling rubber cup keyboard (rubber dome with slider).  I had to re-attach the stabilizer bars on the space bar, which also had a spring (only switch that had a spring). It saw little to no use because of the space bar issue. Near mint condition.
