Title: EBAY: Positron Express 911 Keyboard
Post by: the_buff on Wed, 29 June 2011, 14:12:34

Kishy was asking about these long ago, but never got an answer.

Is it clicky?  That is the question.  

Who wants to "Buy It Now" for $39.95 (In the box! w/manuals) and let us know?

Someone take one for the team.

Email the seller and ask them to pull a cap and take a pic.

I've gotten very negative reactions from most ebay sellers when I've asked them to pull a key cap and take a picture.  Some won't "be bothered" to do it, and vintage computer people just ignore you like you're some kind of key cap scavenging pariah.

Which I might be.  Did you see that awesome "Data General Dasher Mdl D-200" on ebay with the beautiful blue keyboard?  Still no response from that seller.

Too late. Gone.

Well someone thought it was a great find.  hehe.  


If the seller would be so kind as to let us know what he sees when he takes a keycap off it would be greatly appreciated.

Sellers may purposefully not want to disclose the nature of the key mechanism.
