Title: F-XT, fun description
Post by: ander on Fri, 26 May 2017, 16:26:47

At $101 shipped, it's not a particularly outstanding deal (though it is a very nice, clean-looking board). I enjoyed the description, though, and thought some of the less-obsessive, more humour-receptive peeps among you (I know you're out there) might too:

Quote from: eBay seller

This vintage keyboard is the computing equivalent of the cast iron skillet.  Functional, beautiful and nigh indestructible.  Feel the SATISFACTION of delivering every letter to your document or correspondence.  Assert DOMINANCE over your colleagues with the cacophony of clicky clacks that assure anyone within 100 yards that you are working HARD.

This listing does not include the original box but the keyboard is in excellent condition.  The cord is lustrous and its spiral tight. There are a few tiny dings to its surface but that's just character.  Tested working and ready to go!

Sounds like Elrick in Ellipse's F62/F77 project thread!
