Post by: SirClickAlot on Fri, 10 February 2012, 07:39:32
Looking for a used chicony KB-5181 with blue monterey switches.

Doesn't need to be functional. I just need it for the switches for another of my switch try sinklists.

Regards.

I was just looking around and the supply of these seem dried up a the moment, nothing on ebay or anywhere else I've looked.  But things change and something could pop up.  I have one of these but don't want to sell, like it too much.

Yeah, supply seems to have been cut off ... And you are right, those are very nice boards.

I recently was helped acquiring some of those monterey blues so I won't be needing another donator board.

Glad you found a source. There is one on on ebay right now (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Computer-PC-5-pin-din-Blue-mechanical-clicky-KeyBoard-Chicony-KB-5181-CT-/110881424832). Cheap but pricey shipping, and it looks pretty groady, don't think I'd want it personally.

I have one but

A) it's with whites
and
B) i'd hate to see it get chopped up, since it's fully functional and besides a damaged foot, in good condition.

Guess that one above might just be badly yellowed.  I have a used one in very good condition and a NIB one both Monterey switches.  Would hate to see either chopped up, and doubt they will be since I don't plan to part with them, :D
