Title: [ebay.de] Vivanco KPT-84 with BLUE ALPS
Post by: Tarkoon on Wed, 04 January 2012, 05:35:23

I found a Vivanco with BLUE ALPS on ebay.de (http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190620974179&category=8344&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619).
I'm sure about blue and not white, because he sent me a picture of the switch!

Perhaps someone here is interested!

Can it be plugged into a regular socket?

He sent me two images, one of the blue ALPS and one of the connector:

I guess the connector is ps2 by the picture.

This really look like an ARON board (GSE KPT-84) but in different color and not DE layout.

I might be interested if the price is right or if shipping is not too expansive, I'll let ppl at DT get it :D

The only thing that I find weird is that I've only seen GSE boards with KPT 23 switches (and a different shade of blue). Maybe the numbers on the switch are nonsignificant and they still might be clicky and 60g. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, that is the one I was referring to.

If someone in the USA or Canada is interested, perhaps it would be possible to send it to Lister with the G80-2551HAD i sell him and he could redirect it. But that only makes sense, if he would agree AND someone here is really interested.
The auction ends in about 24h.

I might try grabbing this one, I would like to see if these are identical to the blue KPT switches in my kpt-84.

Any German wants to adopt an old Canadian hobo? Seems like there's always sweet boards on the other side of the ocean...

As long as you pay for shipping both ways I have no problem letting you try out a bunch of stuff from my hoards of boards.
Word of warning...so far everyone that did this ended up deciding to keep the boards and send me money instead.
