Happy 2 years! What a great collection :thumb:Thanks! It's been a fun 2 years, looking forward to the next 2. ;)
Now I finally know how many keyboards you have :p:P Not nearly as many as others around here! :D And you haven't seen them all built up yet, so there's still more to come! :))
So awesome! Your collection is amazing, O' Hoffmann man of mystery.Thanks Flyersfan! :-*
So many Bro Bots! And that green and black kult kap! :eek: :eek: :thumb:Heh. I've had a few Bro Bots throughout the last year or so. :) I let about half the collection go this last fall though, so it's not so many anymore. ;)
Hoffman's keyboard collection is no longer a mystery. :pIt's still a mystery because I forgot about two of them! :-[ Oops. Will add soon. :thumb:

I am not worthy
Meh, it's alright I guess... :rolleyes:
I'm not mad about the beer. I'm mad that I don't have any clacks to put in a beverage :'(Meh, it's alright I guess... :rolleyes:
Photekq is just mad that he doesn't have a beer to put all his clacks in :))

Nice collection!
So many keyboards.
What's the clackbrohipsterbingebeer thing about? Haha
Also, if you had to settle on 3 keyboards from your current collection, which ones would you choose?
You spelled Apple wrong for your M0110. Gotta keep that spellcheck game strong bro ;).
I can't believe I've never seen that rain dance pictures before. It's amazing :)).
I'm so mad you don't have that punchcard board working yet. Get on that!
So I guess...not bad. I wouldn't mind you sending a few over for um....closer inspection :P.
Happy 2 years Hoff :thumb: seems like you've had a hell of a time. As awesome and and expensive your collection is, I can't fathom the sentimental value of it. Also found it pretty interesting how the quality of photos have changed during your time.
which keyboard is your favorite? :)

And haha, I noticed that about my photos as I was preparing this post. I used to not understand that I could fix white balance, and I've gotten better at everything in general over the years. :) Still room for improvement though! :P
****s and giggles, if it doesn't damage the cap whats the problem. :thumb:I was going to bake one of mine into jello, then realized that would be taking it too far, and possibly damage the cap.
Awesome collection and photography, saved a number of them :)
Which keycaps are these Hoff, mind me asking?Show Image(http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2893/10716304985_b55d0cfb5f_k.jpg)
Tried searching Matt3o's keypuller.com database for red but it didn't show up.
have you actually counted? what is your averaged keycap gains per day?I actually have a spreadsheet of all my purchases as of last November (I was curious about how much I had spent thus far :-X ). If you're curious I would be happy to share it.
:p jeebus
Happy anniversary!Thanks! The LumberChap cap is actually modeled after me though. :P It was from when Binge was sculpting caps to raise funds for his casting setup.
Fantastic collection :)
That SpAmRaY keycap :))
I was not going to read this but got sucked into it.Hahahaha, glad you stuck around to read it. :) I am indeed the one who executed the turkey... :-[ The windshield actually cost less than a few of my keyboards... :confused:
OMFG!
Are you the one who executed the turkey with the blue Alps Tour Omnikey maneuver?
I was worried about the price of a windshield, but these caps exceed the price of an entire car!
Good thing that you are a young man so that there are enough years left in your lifetime to wear out this gear.
why do rich people put their artisan keycaps in greasy food though:-X :-[ I'm not rich tho. And because it's perfectly safe. ;D
Awesome collection and photography, saved a number of them :)That is a combination of Red Alert 2.0 (alphas) and Klaxon (mods). :thumb: demik was only partially right. ;) Red Alert 2.0 was my first classifieds purchase here, from sleepy916. Not sure if he remembers. :))

That IBM punch card thing is awesome. Have you figured out how it works? Can it be made to function as a keyboard somehow? What would typing on it feel like?I have figured out how it works mechanically, which is incredibly impressive (the mechanism, not my understanding). The mechanism is a hybrid between a typewriter and a keyboard. I have the patent files for a similar keyboard, if you're curious. I had zero luck finding documents pertaining to this particular keyboard. And unfortunately, the original wiring included about 40 (not exaggerating) wires from the keyboard to the main computer unit, so it was in my mind impossible to directly convert it. I opted to cut some of it apart and started to wire up my own solution. Then I moved and shelved the project. :( I really want to finish it up and see if I'm successful. The downside is that I will need an entirely custom firmware for it, so we'll see what I can hack together for that. :)) If you're curious, you can see more photos here (https://www.flickr.com/photos/99522542@N03/sets/72157637392763785/) and I'd be happy to take more pictures / discuss the topic more if you're curious. This is probably the most intriguing keyboard I own (IMO), and is the one project I hope to complete most.
Also it seems pretty sacrilegious to replace arbitrary keycaps in the middle of an APL set with ugly metal blanks. :PIs it okay if it's a replica APL set? :P You're right though. Maybe you can rest easy knowing that they didn't stay there for longer than it took to take the photo. They now reside on the 62-key 4704.
