Title: Do anybody know about this keyboard?
Post by: dicho on Sat, 05 November 2011, 20:03:25

Howdy, guys!

Someone is offering this keyboard here in Brazil:

http://img1.mlstatic.com/s_MLB_v_O_f_167271473_1727.jpg (http://img1.mlstatic.com/s_MLB_v_O_f_167271473_1727.jpg)

The seller says the manufacturer is "[STRIKE]ERICSON[/STRIKE] ERISON ELETRONICS,INC", model is "ER-M111KAM" and FCC ID is "G2CSK-1103P".
However, I just can't find any additional info (switches/rubber dome? year?) about this board, neither on google or GH wikis. I asked the seller directly but he doesnt seem to understand what a switch or a rubber dome is and can't figure it out.

So, can anyone hand me some info? Is it worth buying for historical value, or is it just another old and worn-out piece of cheap rubber crap?

Thanks in advance and best regards!

I don't know much, but it looks interesting and solid enough I think I would offer him a small amount of cash for it and see how receptive he is. I wouldn't blow your paycheck on it, but... Sorry I couldn't have been more help.

I wouldn't buy it unless the seller pulled a key and took a pic.

Life is too short.  Have a caipirinha or straight cachaca.  See my Subforum for my recommendations.

I asked the seller to do this yesterday. Let's see if he will know how to.

As for the cachaça, I'm saving a bottle for the day I find some Model M here in Brazil (too hard to find if you can't go to São Paulo)...

Cheers!
