Title: Preparing to move all my keyboards...
Post by: chyros on Sun, 19 February 2017, 13:40:03
Jesus Christ, it's even worse than I thought. It's about 2000 litres worth of keyboards!

Nice. Need a whole extra uhaul trailer for just your keyboards.

Very good job at keeping and finding boxes to fit them compactly.

It's actually massive. And heavy as ****. 18 kilos iirc.

Didn't you mention in an old video you weren't even going to take one of your Amstrads when you moved?

I feel bad for the poor soul who has to find them.

Good luck with the move. That's a hell of a lot of keyboards to move about.

Is this a problem that people face? Are the keyboard boxes of today just not large enough or does everyone just throw them out so there are never any around?

I threw about five of them away, I've got two left; the two oldest ones. I figured I need to keep at least one to show their terribleness for next generations xD . Besides, it's always good to keep stuff around for comparisons in later reviews.

chyros, I don't know if your family would want to be on camera but I would love to see their expressions as you unpack all this stuff. :D

After watching many of your videos, I always wondered how much space your boards would take up if gathered together. Are these just the ones you keep, i.e. you've got rid of many more?

Do a video review of the van with a detailed description of the suspensions' springs or I'm unsubscribing. Oh, and don't forget the driving demostration at the end.

Do a review of the light switches in your new place.

I'm really not lacking in "companionship", thankfully xD .

It's just my parents' place :p . Might do a tiny tour of the room, though.

I've gotten rid of about two dozen, mostly duplicates, and I gave away a whole bunch of stuff at the last meetup, which was conveniently here.

More importantly, did the typewriter survive the move unscathed?!

Yes, it all arrived, and since yesterday I finished moving them all into my own, new place as well ^^ .

Chyros, I was wondering where you found all your keyboard boxes. Were you just fortunate enough to find keyboards with their factory boxes?

Yeah, some of them I found with their original boxes, or I occasionally used other keyboards' boxes, but the vast majority were from a single haul of several pallets of old NIB Dell keyboards. I took the boxes of all the larger ones with me (in a GIANT bag, on my bike) and used them for all kinds of keyboards. Extremely useful, especially when moving. That haul also included two NIB black AT102Ws, as it happens ^^ .

Just wanted to chime in.  so you said liters.  Seems like an odd measurement to use.  just thought this was odd and I have to ask why that? 

Looks like a lot of keyboards, but you seem very well organized.

Well it is odd as litres are most commonly used for items (such as fluids and solids that can be poured).

It's just a unit of volume :p . I measured the stack of keyboards and found it was approx. 2 m3 in total, so 2000 litres.

Moving to and from school I always feel like keyboards take up more space in my car than clothing does.  :blank:

i had to sell some once no room in the car :P

Solution, bring less clothing until the point where the only things in your car are keyboards (forget the computer, keyboards are what matter here). Then and only then should you start selling boards
