Title: Cherry MY7000 $5 + shipping
Post by: nubbinator on Wed, 01 January 2014, 22:17:23
It comes out to $20 for me and you can always make an offer.

It's MY switches, looks to be lasered, and needs some cleaning, but not a bad price if you want some Cherry PBT caps.

Might also be interesting to cut off as much as possible and make a free-standing card swipe reader.  Yes, a real one might be cleaner and tidier, but this might be cheaper!

I bought a MY board from a scrap-dealer for the week our boss was all "Let's do a kiosk where people can swipe their cards to pay for stuff!".  At $1, the board was overpriced.

I would say the 8000 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cherry-Multi-Functional-Keyboard-G81-8000-Credit-Card-Swipe-MY-8000-Very-Good-/310832395167?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item485f0df39f) is a better deal if you are after some Cherry lasered PBT. It's a better layout and none relegendable. Looks to be in better condition and may come with box which could be useful for storing other keyboard. Probably worth the extra few dollar.

Think its possible to ask the seller to just send the caps for cheaper shipping?

But that would mean he wouldn't be able to post his uninterrupted stream of consciousness!
