APL Unsaver pictures

[The_Beast]

Now that I have a decent camera, here are some pictures of my recently acquired unsaver with OG APL caps:




















Hack orange and APL aren't a great match but hey, what can you do!

[terrpn]

i though the unsavers were those rubber dome variety?

so they do come in BS as well i see

This is a model F, in all it's glory

Plus, they might be even more rare than the tinsaver. I've only really seen maybe 2 in the wild for the longest, plus the one I have and the 2 others from the guy who I bought mine from. And I've never seen one for sale in a classified section and I've been keyboarding for quite a while

Amazing, those OG caps are so much better than the ones that they make now.

Yea, I'm slowly growing my model F collection.

Oh damn.. I like that keyset man!

Where did you find a Model F Unsaver?

I have been looking for one of these for a long time, as well as a Kishsaver. I've managed to acquire F AT, XT, 122, and some beam spring boards, but not an Unsaver or Kishsaver as yet.

Per sleepy916 request, a comparison between OG APL and the unicomp APL. The Unicomp are on my SSK and the OGs are above those:

It just kinda fell into my lap. I was talking with someone about something unrelated, they mentioned they knew someone with an unsaver and wanted it to go to a good home. Bam, some money later and a bit of waiting in the mail and it was mine.

Wow! Talk about luck, or fate, or the Force being with you....

This keyboard is simply marvelous. It's just so damn beautifull and such an awesome keyboard in itself!


If you ever feel like this keyboard is too much for your collection, tell me!

I think I'd need all 3 to land a board like this

Is that keyset for MX?

[The_Beast]

Is that keyset for MX?

I don't believe so.

[CPTBadAss]

How'd you put Alps keycaps on a BS board?

[HoffmanMyster]

Is that keyset for MX?

I don't believe so.

Topper only, right?

[The_Beast]

How'd you put Alps keycaps on a BS board?

By not being cpt. level new?

[The_Beast]

Tinsaver?

Same thing, but tinlong117 found and sold them to GH at a more than fair price for what they are.

Ah, another moniker for the Kishsaver - thanks.

Per sleepy916 request, a comparison between OG APL and the unicomp APL. The Unicomp are on my SSK and the OGs are above those:

Show Image

I *knew* they had three legend colors!

I had one on my desk in about '87 or so. Attached to a 3279 color display running SAS on a 4380, if I have my numbers correct.

I had the APL keyboard just because it looked cool.

Nice board, Mr. B.

What 3 colors? The legend color on the side is the same as the top orange.

[samwisekoi]

The front legends looked red in the photo.

Seriously, I swear mine had two alt colors on the keys.

Nope, all orange on mine

Every time I see APL, it reminds me of John Titor and the IBM 5100.
