Title: Leading Edge DC-2214 Blue ALPS?
Post by: jevvix on Sat, 11 October 2014, 19:29:04: Looks like these usually have blue ALPS but sometimes white. Either way it's ANSI layout and should have nice thick double shots.

Blue Alps in a native ANSI layout?

Awesome!

I don't have any spare cash, but I will watch.

I'm getting sea sick over all these Alps boards hitting ebay this weekend. I've got two KBP V60MTS on preorder plus setting aside cash for Matias 60%.

Make it stop daddy!

If someone here takes this, I would love to know what the components really are.

ANSI-layout Alps with "standard" Enter are hard to find anyway, especially with good switches and caps.
