Title: Found an old Cherry G80-1800, what kind of switches are these?

This was being thrown away at work, so I snatched it. Double shot caps, winkeyless layout, DIN connector. Not sure about these switches though...

(sorry about the not so great pix)

That's a G81-1800, and those are MY switches.

Eh, thought so. Oh well...a nice key cap harvest for sure.

Indeed, looks to be in fair shape as well. Lucky you.

If you harvest the caps, what will you do with the rest of it? I'd take it off your hands.

My advice is to look for more stuff that that they are throwing away at your workplace!

I'm tempted to drive up there to CT, and check it out myself!  :cool:

I think I might start carry a key puller in work at all times, haha.
