Title: Memorex Telex Keyboard? (AT)
Post by: REVENGE on Fri, 28 January 2011, 11:00:54

I've seen references to a Memorex Telex XT over serial board, but not to an XT/AT board like this: (http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/6456/dscf5722h.jpg)

I don't recognize the switches, what are they?

They look like Alps. Can you take another pic with a closeup of the switch?

I didn't realize this, but there are a few of these and variations on eBay, not sure if they're the same type.

Whoa, talk about filthy.

Anyway, looks like sliders over rubber dome (obviously from the time when even rubber dome boards could have pretty fancy build), or possibly something capacitive. Maybe NMB or Silitek.
