Dolch Field PAC 60 PC (full-size keys) $175 OBO
« on: Sun, 26 February 2017, 22:14:59 »
Dolch Vintage computer








The power button's missing, but it can still be turned on, and works. And of course there are those keys.  ;?)

As far as I know, complete working examples of these usually go for upwards of $400.

People from here typically only by these for the keyboard.

Nobody should be paying $400 that's laughable.

Exactly why I posted this—you must be one of those psychic-type KB maniacs!  :?D

Of course, some rational peeps might consider it "laughable" to pay $175 for a set of caps, too... If so, they obviously haven't hung around here.

One could always buy the whole thing, swap the keycaps out with some cheapo ones and resell it, couldn't they?  Hmm...  :p

By the way, the one below may be a little cheaper depending on your location, since shipping on the one in the original post was listed at $41 for me.  This one is complete from the looks of it, though it is a PAC64 instead of a PAC60 if that makes a difference to you.

So keys like these, in other words? Or are you saying someone has swapped these out with modern copies? Use your words, man!

Yes there have been lots of group buys in multiple profiles and materials to create modern sets which replicate the dolch colorway.

But some people still prefer the original caps.

Insofar as the keyboard on each system, I think the 60 uses a PS/2 connector while the 40 uses that phone jack connector thing (rj11?  rj45?  something like that), but is that the only major difference between the two?
