Title: Some very obscure Cherry stuff
Post by: Photekq on Thu, 13 November 2014, 15:06:48: Some pictures I've accumulated that I think are worth posting. No idea what the model numbers are. These are all unique, and I don't think any more than 1 of each has been found.

If anyone has any ideas about model numbers or sources please do share. Mainly interested in the single-letter code for Hebrew..

edit - actually, might have been Arabic now I think about it...

Post by: Fnzzy on Thu, 13 November 2014, 16:07:13: I also have something. This little teal/turqoise keycap seems to be a legit Cherry cap. Absolutely no idea where this could be from. Found it in a small box in the attic, currently using it on my Viper.

Post by: Hzza on Thu, 13 November 2014, 16:25:07: Oh, and I guess if we're doing obscure ****, this probably qualifies. I got it from sixty who doesn't know/remember where it came from. Apologies for ****pics.

edit - the green key is the interesting one, it's probably the most useless key from a UK ISO board but nobody knows why it's green or where it came from...

Very rare, I doubt you will ever see a second one. I have no idea where it came from. In fact I don't think I ever showed this around before this sale at all :?
I don't use the UK layout, so in the "webwit's no foreign layouts zen approach" - I wanna let this go. Give me some reasonable offers.

Well the one on the left looks like a qwertz numpad key, unless you're focusing on the green one, which is funky
Title: Re: Some very obscure Cherry stuff
Post by: Hzza on Thu, 13 November 2014, 16:33:25: Yeah, the green one is the obscure one, the other is just another random Cherry cap I had laying around.

There was that 'green' 1800 board I believe it was a similar color.

Hmm, combination of three symbols:

¬ - logical not
' - apostrophe or comma or single quote?
| - pipe

Those caps look great, any more info on the board? I need to find a set of those caps or ones that look like them.

It's the key that sits to the left of the number 1 key on a UK ISO board - `¬¦ it's just the colour of this one that makes it obscure.

Usless trivia, the third symbol is wrong on the cap, it should be a broken pipe - pipe sits on the key to the right of the left shift for UK ISO, indicated by a broken pipe symbol of course...although this isn't unique to that particular cap or to Cherry sets in general IIRC.

And missing two caps? That's one of the saddest things ever.

No Ivan, there is no such thing as Yugo language, Serbian yes.
