Title: SGI Granite w/ dampened white alps $45 or make offer

The keyboard looks pretty gross, but the keycaps should clean up fine in a denture bath. Seller forgot to specify shipping, but this could be a good find for someone. They are very nice thick PBT w/ dyesub legends.

Will not ship? I think that's the first time I've seen that.

Pretty sure it's a mistake, as the seller has 16000+ feedback. If I wanted it, I'd probably make an offer for $35-40, mention that there was no shipping option, and propose that the offered price be the shipped price. Minimizes the back and forth, and probably a good chance of snagging it that way to minimize hassle on both sides.

looks like someone did just that 'cause it's been sold.

Supposedly some of the later SGI Granite-style boards have rubberdomes, but I wonder if they might still use Alps-style keycaps.

The older ones are not PS/2 electrically, with potentially disasterous results.

Honestly, I'm mostly interested in them as a case-and-or-cap donor for the more... usable... AT101W.

Some of them do, but the 9500900 is ALPS
