Hi,
Firstly, my first post here so hello!
I always liked noisy clicking keyboards but had never owned one until a few weeks ago. A relative of mine passed away and this keyboard which I always liked has been given to me.
It was in a bit of a state before I plucked the keys out and gave it a good old clean but it's scrubbed up well. I'm very happy with it and just thought I'd share a picture or two here.
I believe from looking at the Cherry database here that it's a 1994 model of the G80-3000. Only slight problem was that it had an old AT connecter but I managed to find an adapter without much trouble on ebay. I absolutely adore the sound and I'm now a mechanical keyboard convert so I'll be rummaging around the boot sales in the summer looking for boards like the Model M.
