Just found this forum.  I never realized there was such a huge enthusiasm for these vintage keyboards.

Cool! Perhaps you have some treasures! :)

Maybe some kishsavers, industrial SSKs and the rare cherry boards :P

lol, sure feels like it sometimes!  Seems like I spend more time here than at home!

I resell used / recert computer and printer equipment, and never realized that all of these keyboards have a market...  Found this board and figured I'd educate myself a bit before unloading them.

It seems that you find a new venue market for your business then. I am not personally into really old hardware due to mainly their insanely high prices, but I have seen many of our fellow GHers that are willing to pay a huge premium for the proper items. Congratulations.
