This set is going to happen, we're just waiting our turn with Massdrop. MD wants to spread out the SA sets so they aren't back to back as well. I'm not going to be on geekhack that much or possibly not at all but this set is still going to happen.
thanks for the update

Interesting!!
I think there is a difference between the sample color and the color on the mockup.
The color code YCC is exactly the same color code of SA Penumbra set (http://keypuller.com/penumbra-sa/), so the yellow color in reality looks more brighter in your mockup.
If you can design the color which looks exactly the same color on mockup.
I think it will make me feel more classic and vintage.

Perfect colour choices and good to see some love for relegendables. Really nice work!

I'm looking for a nice set for my Access-IS matrix style board, but the sculpted profile makes it hard to use on a non-standard layout. I'm really disappointed that I won't be able to join this one - I'll just keep waiting for more SA row 3 uniform sets or hopefully a Devlin K series set to come along.

How could you ever forget about RetroBlight, the MOST eagerly awaited Key-set here on Geekhack Central  ::) ?

I thought Steezus was the head of this project after Frostytoast stepped down?

Edit - Wait a sec, this doesn't have its own Massdrop poll? I see one poll with this set but the poll is just a mix of SA sets.. Any vets know if this set has a poll?

EggoChicken1 has spoken. Make this happen to appease EggoChicken1 or the monkey gets it.

It being the thing that monkeys hate the most, baths, obviously..

Okay, I have a tiny update.
Steezus, whom I gave control of the group buy to, has attempted to contact MD and unfortunately has seen no progress.
That unfortunate attempt to no avail has prompted me, now rid of any concern between MD and SP, to retake this buy and attempt to get everything in order.
Thus, I have started a poll for this keyset.
Please vote and make this a reality!

Shouldn't the 1.75u Shifts in the Tsangan be R4, not R3? Or am I missing something?

Yeah, that's my bad.
The set was in progress before the release of the r4 shifts so I'll have that fixed before the launch.

I'm really quite excited for this set. It seems that we somehow managed 200+ votes in less than 24 hours!

While I too like the renders, you should realize that this set is not going to be compatible with the Unicomp board.

I know, but yeah, but a guy can dream, can't he?  ;D ;D ;D ;D

In all seriousness, make these for IBMs and you'll have lots of sale.

If you were to get ahold of a GH122 PCB you could use a Unicomp PC122 shell to complete that vintage look.  :D
