Title: Hello from Liverpool, UK
Post by: Harinis on Sat, 31 August 2019, 20:44:01

Hello to everyone.
I'm Harinis from Liverpool in the UK.
I've recently been looking into buying an IBM keyboard that I remember from my school days. And in doing so have found a whole world of clicky-clacky goodness I've been missing out on.
I'm currently waiting for a couple of boards off eBay. A good condition Viglen 6312-TW, a very dirty (possibly even skip-found) Focus FSQ4VYFK-2001 with who knows what for switches, and a Dell 102W with black Alps.
I know it's not the (I've just learned) buckling springs IBM that I want but here in the UK it's a nightmare to find one for a decent price.
I'm looking forward to future finds and challenges with my new found love for all things inputy!!!

I love that you're here for the older stuff; welcome to the hobby! Try not to go _too_ crazy -- I can be hard sometimes :)
