[SOLD] 1st-run GE/Marquette (Unicomp) cardio board
« on: Sat, 23 December 2017, 03:04:24 »
"GE marquette Keyboard ECG/Cath""





Unicomp made these special cardio-system boards for four years—first for GE's Marquette division, then GE Medical Systems. Only this first run (2002) also had Unicomp's logo. The rest merely say "Unicomp" inconspicuously on the back.

Currently at just $45 + 12 U.S. shipping (ends Tues., Jan. 2 at 7 p.m.), so if you've wanted one of these, it may be worth watching.

This one has some neat legends. Not really a fan of the yellow numpad though.

Nice!  I can't remember what version the one I got was, but I like the 'Wave' key on this one.

Are you kidding? That's a unique feature, AFAIK.

Well, you could hold out for one of these toned-down, logoless versions:

...but they don't turn up nearly as often.

I'm only guessing here, but maybe that enabled the technician to signal the cardiologist to wave to the patient on the treadmill, to encourage them.  :?)

Relisted

If anyone gets this but doesn't want the keycaps (especially the yellow ones), you know where to send them ...

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 thought it was for when the day was done to signal everyone to 'do the wave' and then part for home.  :)) ;D

I'm tempted to send them an offer even though I've got something like this already!

Wow, it went for the asking price. Someone got a sweet deal. (Well, I tried to tell you...)

I would've bought this one if I didn't already have one, or if I didn't care if I was married.

Bidding ended with 0 bids - didn't sell?
