Would you mind posting the manufacture date of the board? Are they definitely vintage blacks?

Thanks
Jeremy

Did you end up getting this board? Could you confirm if the switches are vintage MX blacks?

The seller has some other boards from the same batch with slightly different caps, and there is a closeup picture on that one:

Appears to be a mix of different types of blacks which is not uncommon for Wyse boards apparently.

Yup, I've been watching those (and several other boards the seller has. Any idea what the distribution of vintage to non-vintage blacks is? I'm trying to source enough for a 60% build (so 61 + some spares)
