Title: Cherry G80-0528
Post by: ebacho on Wed, 11 March 2015, 02:15:25

From ncbound: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-NCR-CHERRY-KEYBOARD-Black-Sliders-F1-F30-West-Germany-Tested-Working-/261801893840?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cf49bdfd0

Quite pricey for what it is, but should work with a soarer if you're absolutely set on using it.

Cheap ass if you consider what some (mainly one) GHer is selling his vintage boards for.

Too bad it's so unevenly discolored as it would be a right ***** to retrobright it evenly. As such it is definitely priced way too high given that, and it's particular keycaps colorway is one of the things that makes NCR boards attractive. No soarer converter is needed strictly speaking on these models though, it does speak AT (PS/2).
