I've also posted elsewhere about this board, but I think it's a pretty cool, and I'm also hoping to find out some more about it as well, so I figured would post here too. I received this as a gift for Christmas. There are no marking on the case other than the brand logo. It's vintage KeyTronic F&F from 1985. Has a solenoid too!
[attach=1] [attach=2] [attach=3]
[attach=4] [attach=5] [attach=6]
I replaced the foam and foil:
[attach=7] [attach=8] [attach=9]
Then wired up the xwhatsit and a solenoid driver:
[attach=10] [attach=11]
Quick video of typing on board:
I've seen pictures of similar Wang keyboards but haven't seen a lot of other specific info about them. Does anyone know more about these boards?
