Title: SIIG MiniTouch New and Sealed in Box - early model never opened
Post by: fohat.digs on Sun, 20 November 2011, 16:36:41

After looking at it sitting on the shelf in my closet for quite a while, I have decided to sell this nice little artifact without opening it and trying it out.

That also means that I cannot say definitively what switches it has, but, whatever they are, they are brand new with 0 hours of use on them.

This is an older model of the SIIG MiniTouch with AT-style DIN plug, so it probably dates from the late 1980s but you probably know more about it than I do.

In case you cannot read the serial number in my scan, it is

J0CM50002074 (followed by) JK-A10032

I feel sure that an oriental collector will pay a steep price on ebay for it, but I am going to offer it here, first, for $115 shipped domestic and $150 shipped international (but I reserve the right to refuse shipping or charge more for certain places).

I wish I could realistically sell it for less, but I really need the money, and I know that I can get it.

PS - I will be traveling for a few days at Thanksgiving, so if you don't snag it right away, it may be the Monday after before I ship.

If this was a normal Siig, no one would pay $115 for it. The last 3 NIB Siigs I had, I sold for $65 or so and they took a good few months to get bites. This is the blue monterey version which is rare so you should be able to sell it pretty easily.

What would be the difference between those?

Feel. The montereys feel like clickier blues. I love them. I might actually like them more than real blues. They are awesome :D

I didn't want to talk about keys too much, since I can't guarantee what is in here, might be the more common white Alps, but I too think it is blue Montereys, which is why I bought it in the first place.

Blue Montereys are wonderful, I like the lightest, smoothest touch I can get but have to have click!

I have had a few Chicony 5181s and if they are good, they are great!

Yes, I want to test out myself how these monterary blues feel like and compare it to my other SIIG with white alps.
