Title: More Vintage Keyboards
Post by: morpheus on Fri, 10 April 2015, 09:46:01: What do you make of these ones? Price is too damn high. Too bad, so sad.

Yes and no. Price seems way to high imo for it to be a "great find" but technically yes, stuff like this should go there.

Cool keyboards but crazy prices. Even for linear green alps

AFAIK, those sharp boards only come in Yellow or Green Alps.

Edit: And it is possible to make one useable (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=29060.0).
