I'm confused, how did you buy two for $75?
Any advice for others on how to find any for a decent price? I'd like one of those!!

Any advice from any of you more experienced guys on how to find these items? What were these models called exactly? I don't even know what to search for.
Honestly all my best finds have been local. You make friends with people at electronic recycling places/surplus warehouses and hope that they don't check ebay.

... What are you going to do with them?
I'm also wondering what these can be used for exactly.

The original controller and its 25-pin plug can be replaced with a xwhatsit's controller and a USB cable, making it usable on a modern computer.... What are you going to do with them?

Web searches are nearly useless for this. Find someone who has access to real-time online catalogues, and ask them to search by part numbers. Membership at these online catalogues is expensive, often upwards of $100 a month.
Impressive technique. Sounds like you really earned this find. :thumb:

Interesting. It looks like you could fit a modern SFF mobo inside this keyboard housing and convert it into an all-in-one PC.There's less room in there than you'd think, but you could fit a couple Pi's

I'all take a pic from behind to show the crampness of the interior.
