Nice find though!

I thought it was time for a little x-mas lottery

(Thank God they teach us German in school !

Also, soon it won't matter, we'll just have 'the crauts' make some more for us !

litster · « **Reply #7 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 11:56:38 »

Thanks Peter. I bought the 2nd one.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #8 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 11:56:54 »

I've been trying to find one of these for over 2 years without having to spend $500. I hope whoever got them appreciate it.

Peter · « **Reply #9 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 11:57:43 »

Glad to hear it went to a fellow geek

metalliqaz · « **Reply #10 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 11:58:53 »

Ugh why didn't I just do as I was told

I would have traded it for some Korean metal.

Gentlemen, please !
No need to get rude

Anyway, MY Wifey will probably 'advise' me to sell/trade it at some point ..
I would like a NIB Northgate Omnikey with the extra Dvorak cap-set .

Because the keycaps are some of the nicest Cyrillic-caps ever made .
The English lettering is Double-Shot, the Cyrillic is RED Dye-Sublimation ..
And they are surprisingly rare, apparently most of those produced by Cherry ended up in some land-fill
because they where to expensive at the time .

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure it's 100% dye sub since it's hard to double shoot PBT and you can't dye sub ABS sooo.....

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #24 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 12:23:20 »

Actually the Russian is pad print as is the case with most of Cherry dual language on doubleshots. There are some set that both is doubleshot, but its same color legend for both. I have US set with Spanish charachter in green on white like that.

metalliqaz · « **Reply #25 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 12:24:03 »

Easy to take for granted that my first language is the default for so many key sets.

guilleguillaume · « **Reply #26 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 12:33:44 »

Same seller which sold the SKIDATA keyboards.

Maybe he has some more.

F*CK: I bought one for 125€ + shipping

ESA-3000-HASRO KEYBOARD ENGLISH RUSSISH

BUYT IT NOW

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #27 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 12:35:22 »

Wish I would have known so when I bought skidata, could have got one and combined shipping maybe... damn.

Alessandro · « **Reply #28 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 12:35:52 »

Now back up at 125 euros. I would go but I want no pad printing whatsoever. I'll just have to wait for someone to sell one of Lysol's recent sets next year.

SmallFry · « **Reply #29 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 12:37:32 »

^ maybe two more?

Why oh why couldn't they list for same price again? $200 shipped... ugh.
No they are with pad print.

fruktstund · « **Reply #33 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 12:41:28 »

€125? I'll just pretend I missed this. :>

Edit: lysol, exactly my thoughts. I would've bought it for €80, but for this price... Nah. It's an extremely nice deal, but I can't help but think there's better deals out there for something else. Then I'm not really a collector either.

True.
All dye-sub is fine with me

It's hard to tell from the pictures and this being a "OEM-board" or whatever, the sticker on the back could mean anything .
3 days and I'll know for sure ..

EDIT :
I found this old post by sixty :

Quote

Cyrillic (1988-1992) (in two versions, one with pad printed cyrillic letters, one with sublimation dyed ones - one of the most expensive sets to Korean collectors, beige only)
Cyrillic (2007) - 104 keys, Entire set of white double shot keys with red laser infill. One of the rarest sets and one of the last official boards with double shots.

Oh FUUU. I just remembered I wanted original cherry and came back to buy one. Now they're all gone!

Now I'm just praying GMK can do these sets.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #36 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 12:50:38 »

I bought one... more than I would have like to spend, but I'm not letting it get away. I just hope they don't reduce the price later or something. If it didn't have the DDR production label I would have been much less likely to spring for so much.
Being that its the DDR version, the HASRO could go either way with doubleshot/pad print or dyesub.

Alessandro · « **Reply #37 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 12:51:18 »

God I regret not getting this now! If anyone ever wants to sell, let me know, or tell me about a GMK miracle!

And congratulations Lysol! You deserve it!

SmallFry · « **Reply #38 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 12:51:45 »

Congrats Lysol! May we get pictures when it comes in?

Of course, but Peter will have thiers much sooner.

guilleguillaume · « **Reply #40 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 12:54:27 »

All gone.

I have only this 3 pcs, no more...

I knew somehow the first one was for testing the field and then he would release some more after selling it like he have been doing with those SKIDATA keyboards.

I doubt he has some more of this though since I don't see any reason why he would warn about a limited quantity if he was planning to sell more. But who knows...this seller is a smart one who like to play with prices.

I paid 142€ shipped what would be ~186USD. Quite high but you don't see this often on Ebay so you can't pass the chance.

Will be taking pictures as soon as it arrives.

Congratulations Lysol. Did you receive the SKIDATA ?

I think we saved em'all from Silly-price Land !!

Think about it : He could just auction them off on ebay.com and get silly-money for them,
but he gives us Westerner-trash a go at them first, at a fixed priced that's actually 'fair' ..

( I found this because I was just about to press 'jetzt kaufen' on one of those SKIDATA's with Danish caps ..
And then I decided to check his other listings first ....)

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #46 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 13:07:12 »

Even though I get one, I am also somehow sad. Now I will have nothing left to search for really. Also, there went most of what I had set aside for a GTX670 that I kind of need. I suppose I can sell a couple of my 1800 to recover.

This seller list as international, so they actually did show up on ebay.com and ebay.whatever too I assume.

We should keep an eye open on this seller as he is releasing many rare keyboards lately. Who knows what keyboards may he have hidden waiting to be sold...

Next time this happen to you you should change the ".de" part of the link for ".com" and it should appear instantly in English. At least this work for me with the ".es" version and I see the page in spanish and the shipping price is updated.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #49 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 13:22:01 »

Yes that work if they are sell international. If they have it for a region only it can change the language but it informs you it is not possible to purchase it. I favorited the seller but that could be bad for me LOL.
