Title: [US] Lot of 5 vintage keyboards
Post by: theferenc on Thu, 30 December 2010, 11:17:25

1 is a chicony with what look like montereys.
1 is a unicomp terminal board -- possibly PC compatible.

The other three are rubber domes, but the NMB at least looks interesting.

Only about 40 minutes left though...I only found it via buying a terminal IBM board from them.

Well, I posted it here because I don't have a need for any of those boards. I'd like to try the Chicony, but not enough to buy 5 keyboards to do so.

And I bought just such a 'real' terminal board from them. Hopefully I can adapt it. If not, it's still a useful donor board at that price.

It's an M. And yes, your thread in the Mods section is what made me think I might be able to adapt it.

I kinda wish it was an F. But for only $20 shipped, I can't complain too much, even if I just end up ripping it apart for parts.
