Title: G80-1306 HAU/00
Post by: czarek on Tue, 24 September 2013, 08:05:49

Another goodie just came to me. Check this out - flashback to 1990, Made In West Germany, very unique layout, of course vintage blacks and thick double shots. I love those keys :)
Unfortunately it's devastated. Cable has been cut off and there was some loose electronics (resistors) shaking inside the case...

That layout is awesome and considering all the other damage, the case and caps look like they're in great condition.

If I ever get my hands on a VAXstation or Alphastation, I'll probably try and hunt down one of those keyboards.

Whee, DEC VT220 layout.

It's a terminal keyboard, and I'm not sure which protocol it speaks, but it's not AT. It would have originally had an RJ11 connector. To use it on a PC it would need a controller replacement or capable converter box. I had one of these and I just parted it out saving only the switches and keycaps.
