That's technically not an MX SPOS, SPOS refers to one particular line of POS keyboards. That's just an MX8000 series POS board.

It's only 1 cent, no reserve.  Surely you can afford 1 cent?  :)

I saw the Ortek days ago & bid on it but got outbid.  And since I bought that Unitek K-258, figured that was OK as long as the Unitek worked which thankfully it does. Hadn't noticed the other stuff yet, cool.

Hey! Writing "IBM Model F" in the title for an auction for a Dolch keyboard is something that I disagree with.
I usually report keyword spamming to eBay whenever I have been looking at such an auction myself.

It's not keyword spamming because it is relevant.  I tried to put "IBM Model F Layout" but there wasn't room.  It's relevant because the layout is like an AT model F, so someone that uses them could move to blue cherries and still touch type without any discomfort or relearning layout.

If I would have put something unrelated, then that is definitely keyword spamming, but this was using keywords describing the layout of the item for sale.  A layout that is fairly unique for keyboards still used today.  I also wanted to be certain that someone didn't see Dolch and bid assuming it was the common  layout then be surprised when it arrives.  Most Dolch boards are G80-1800 layout  - the layout in this case is one of the more important features of the keyboard so differentiating it was important.

I agree that is pretty dodgy.

I'm guessing pretty much anyone who knows what a model f is, knows it ain't one.

That Ortek MCK-84 is getting up there as the end approaches, at $72.77+$12.48 with about 2 1/2 hours to go.
It does have a quite compact and well thought out layout, I admit.

Ended. Shot up there at the end to US $160.49 + $12.48 shipping. Dollars for Didja.
