Title: Auction for 2 WYSE DS caps,Vintage Blacks (Closed)
Post by: Melvang on Sun, 11 August 2013, 12:13:44: Alright guys I am doing an auction for 2 WYSE terminal boards with what I believe to be vintage blacks and double shot dark blue/purple on beige 2 tone caps. The date on the PCB for both is 1983.

All proceeds of this auction will be donated to the people that had stuff in on the Switch Test Tour Round 1 that went missing. Anything left over will be donated to the general Geekhack fund. The only money I will be receiving out of this auction is just enough to break even on the boards which is only $24 for both. Well that and I will be robbing one of the space bars for my project. The space bar that I will be taking for myself is the bottom one in the last image.

The auction will be 1 auction with the top bid getting pick between the 2 and second highest gets the other board. All bids should be submitted via post in this thread And I will try reserve 2 posts after this OP for top 2 bids. The auction will officially close on the final day of Aug at midnight CST of 2013. Both boards will be showcased at KeyCon 2013 as well.

Here are the 2 boards have a variety of pics both before and after cleaning.

This auction is open to everyone even overseas provided buyer is willing to pay for shipping.

Post by: CPTBadAss on Sun, 11 August 2013, 12:22:55: Just use imgur and upload pictures like that?

And thank you for helping me out. You really didn't have to since I managed to figure out a backup plan but I really appreciate the gesture regardless.

Post by: Tarzan on Sun, 11 August 2013, 14:13:18: Both boards have those odd right-angle connectors? I'm guessing they are terminal boards of some sort...? What the heck, those caps are beautiful, and I'm curious about vintage black MX switches.

I'll start with $25.

Somebody outbid me so this vintage keyboard doesn't fall to my inept, clumsy hands, and shoddy soldering skills.
