Is this yours? If so, you should post it in the auction links subforum. Also price seems a bit high for SMK Blue switches.

Nope, found this while casually browsing ebay, thought I'd share. Besides, as you said, personal items should only be posted in classifieds section.

The only thing that puts me off is the corrosion on the connector pins... What would cause something like that?

Probably being stored in a damp room for a few decades.

It's an alluring shade of blue, at least.

BTW, this board is virtually identical (minus the corrosion and logo badge) to the one I posted about here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=72922.msg1780542)—which, as I type this, is still available for $50 shipped.
