Post by: whiskytango on Sun, 17 March 2013, 17:57:57: wasn't there a thread a while back where somebody went to Ocean Tech and cleaned them out of all the boards that were in good or decent shape to distribute them to members here?

I thought I remembered reading that all the boards left there were in bad shape.

They are SP; pretty common for many of these.

Post by: tjcaustin on Sun, 17 March 2013, 20:35:27: I bought one of the white on black boards they had. $10 + shipping seemed like a good deal for what I'd be getting out of it. Hopefully the caps aren't garbage.

For the moment at least, they're going on a poker for me. They may spend a photo session on a mx-mini, but yeah. I may use it as an opportunity to check out the gradient F row from SP or just use my novelty stuff up there anyways.

I have a set from inlikeflynn.
Me too, the only problems for me were the Escape (replaced with a red one), the F8 key for some odd reason and the down arrow has a bit of shine. Very nice for $15.
