Typewriter Key Caps
« on: Sun, 19 April 2015, 13:58:24 »
Some time ago I bought some old Brother typewriter, hoping I'd get some MX-compatible caps but I got these guys instead.
More

Are they compatible to anything? I think they almost look similar to topre caps (with some modding of course).
What do you think?

You might want to test them first lol. Wouldn't want to just try and sell them to someone only to not have them fit.

I have no topre board I could test them on. Either way I wouldn't sell them with gurantee to fit / without including the threads where similar caps were discussed about.
I could measure the stems though.

yeah, same thing just the inverse of color as what others have had. If you're after MX you should be looking at TA (Triumph Adler) / Royal stuff... lots of different ones have been posted in this thread. Also, since you are in Europe there are some other brands like Hermes H16 which are essentially rebranded TA you might look for.
