Not a great deal since they regularly go for $30, but it seems like people have been jacking up the prices lately. Try for $30 and see if you can get it.

Hey Nubbs.... gotta say that you have me pretty much addicted to great finds (the nubbs channel, LOL). Just curious: what's the mod spacing on these old winkey dells? is it 1.25, 1.25, 1.25, 6, 1.25 ...? Because I swear that the Mods on the LHS of the spacebar are wider then the mods on the RHS of the spacebar.
Cheers,
K

It is standard ANSI 125 (1.25, 1.25, 1.25, 6.25, 1.25, 1.25, 1.25, 1.25). I am typing on an AT101W right now.

glad somebody else has noticed...............prices are going up on these old tanks
this one could use a minor retrobrite, but is pretty clean- does not looked abused
i'm typing on my at101 as well
not bad for including shipping

And, of course, after you transplant in the orange Alps, an AT101 becomes a top-shelf keyboard.

Or you could just use whatever keyboard the orange Alps switches came from; it’s probably nicer anyway.

The AT101 is a great, solid old-school keyboard.
The old Apples were very well-built, but the AT101 is straight-up, straight-ANSI, PS/2 plug and play.
I used first-generation PBT beige keycaps in a black case. If you really want typing pleasure, use as many of the great Apple heavy PBT caps as you can.

10-4............i stuck a bunch (pbt apple caps) on my zb2.green alps board- they were a little yellowed, it was winter and not a good time to retrobrite and i left it that way, looks a little different, but ohhh the feel :cool:
of course it's not as bling and cool as all the new mx stuff that is out, but i'm old skool and could care less
