Second, I have not tested them yet, I was just given to go-ahead to test and clean them up. Once that is done I will let everyone know. These are not mine, they are my bosses and he'll let me know how many at at what price we can let them go. Most are SSK only a few 104 and so far none of the 60% style.
This is a portion of what he has in storage so it's going to take me a few weeks to sort through, test and clean. I'm also still looking for the box of SDL cables.

Sorry about that, I hope the one link works now as there is a video as well showing a small selection of the actual SSK, there are also to Model F I think is what they are.

100% of the ones tested so far are in perfect working order. It takes longer to press all those keys than you think, it's harder than just typing because you have to make sure each key registers and you do the in order, it's not as natural as typing.
Once they have all been tested and cataloged I'll make a post in the classifieds section. People who were members before my original post will get precedence over anyone joining after, my small way of giving back to everyone who has been so kind here and I want them going to enthusiasts first and foremost. There are people on RMK and DT that will be upset but I spend far more time here.

As for the SSK, all of them tested worked but one has a stuck spacebar. I've not tried to fix it yet as I'll do all that after they have all been tested.
Post by: pixelpusher on Thu, 21 September 2017, 16:08:16
Ok, I managed to steal enough free time to test about 25 boards today. One of the AT boards was non-responsive and the other worked fine so I think my adapters are working but I am going from AT to PS2 to USB to USB-C because I'm on a macbook pro.

I'll probably get some more today to test next week and go through what else are in the other locations.
I was looking at pulling all the cap covers and putting them in a 5gal bucket of dawn free and clear and water to clean them and something similar with the top case, or should I not clean them at all or what is usually preferred. I know some people prefer them to be untouched and restore them themselves. The bottoms are more of an issue as the labels are paper sticker that would not fair well in water. I'm open to suggestions on this as I've not done anything other than test them this far.

I think you're right that people are okay with doing the deep-clean themselves. Scrubbing the caps is nice. If you want to just take a moist rag to the cases (avoiding getting any paper labels wet) it'll probably be good enough to get them sold, the buyer can finish the detail work. Kudos for going through so many boards, you've got your work cut out.
Agreed, I think people would rather clean by themselves haha. Personally part of the joy in receiving a vintage board is the restoration itself.

So any of them that are in absolute trash condition: they are still salvageable. All you need is the case pretty much; everything else can be had from donor boards.
Shoving the 104 membrane in there was pretty tricky, I had to cut the middle section out and put tape over the contacts to prevent them from causing issues. then I folded it back under the plate.

For transparency it is going to cost me $7.00USD each for bubble wrap and boxes.
The rough estimate for shipping is about 28-32USD.
To make things simple if you are in the continental USA the price is going to include shipping. Outside the continental USA we'll have to check the shipping prices for you and if they fall inside the same area no problem, otherwise we will have charge the difference in shipping.
I'm not selling them here yet I will make that post in the Classified section so were not breaking any rules but I'll let you know here and link to that post when it's live so hold on a bit longer. I still don't know how many we have total but I have about 30 that will be ready on Friday.
The average price for an SSK is $222.33 (based on as many sold listings as I could find all over the internet)
The Mean price is $224.95
Don't cry just yet. We plan to let them go for $150.00 USD with an initial limit of 1 per person.
Because I care about the things I sell these will be wiped clean, and the cap covers cleaned and air dusted inside and out. It's going to be a lot of work but I want to keep a spread sheet and give you a serial number, manufacture date and photos before we complete a transaction so you know exactly what you are getting. Again you will have to be a member here with a join date before my initial post, then after all those members that want one are taken care of newer members will be taken. After that anyone wanting an additional keyboard will be taken.
Hopefully no one is upset with this but I think you all are aware of what we have and that if I wanted I could trickle these out on EBay for more money. I would rather them all go to you all who will take care of and cherish them.

I think I have 10 cables so far I'm going to test those and once I know they work I'll let the first 10 units go.
As far as the AT Model F go I have three I need to test and if those work I will list those as well.
There are some white labels with attached non-removable cables and one piece key caps that I have to sort out also. The units that are sold will have a basic water only wipe down and the keycap covers cleaned. None of them will be opened by me and will only have a light dusting out so they will still need some cleanup and probably some internal dusting. If things go better with my oral surgery tomorrow and I'm feeling up to it I will open them and at least inspect the boards which was my original intent but many of you want your hands on these ASAP and I can understand that.
If you have any more questions hit me with them and I'll get back to you ASAP.

My guess is that this lode might prove at least as interesting as that $100K "warehouse" sale.
Yeah, that was definitely sus as hell, with the seemingly obviously planted model M on top of a bin. This here is an exciting trove.

As for opening them up to check for dust, I still think it's not really necessary. Testing the keyboards to ensure functionality and giving a light wipe-down is enough. Best not to risk an accident while opening the cases and damaging a working board (not that I don't trust you by now to know your way around these boards).

Sadly the AT keyboards all had issues so until I can solve those or something those wont go for sale.
I'll make the post in classified section some time this evening, before midnight EST.
I did not open or dust any of the keyboards by popular demand. They only got a light can or air dusting after they were cleaned. All of these are Blue Label SDL cable (except the full size, it has an attached cable) 2 part keycaps. All the cap tops were removed and given a bath in warm water because of how dusty/dirty they were and the cases were all wiped down with microfiber cloth dipped in warm water. That means they are presentable but will not actually be clean when you get them. None of the cable have been clean. They are all fairly stretched out to begin with and I didn't want to stretch them out further.
As of this writing it's 6:10pm EST

What about selling the AT for parts?
I will get with you about the issues they have this week. Things have been very busy here and I fell behind on getting the SSK ready for everyone and I feel bad about that so I want to get that out of the way first.
Then I have to find this elusive box of SDL cables but I will get with you this week for sure. One is mostly working just had one key that sticks.
Post by: bmmcwhirt on Mon, 16 October 2017, 20:34:04
So are these going to be first come first serve? I mean, I would love to have an SSK!
Yes, but I have a lot more we are just still hunting for a box of SDL cables. I probably have about 14 more ready to go when I find that box. Thats the reason the prices are going to be so low. I dont have a lot of full sized though.
I will be posting here in the next half hour as Im writing that post as soon as I make sure I've answered questions here.

Are all of the SSKs blue labels, or just the first 9 that you have ready?

Just the ones I have ready. I do have 3-4 white labels that will be in the next batch.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for a mod to approve classified ?
usually just a day

I have no idea why it's still awaiting approval.
Did you report the thread and/or PM a moderator? And did you make sure everything was following the rules? Sometimes they'll leave a note you need to update/change something to get it approved.

I have not reported the thread as I saw nothing about needing to do so, but to my knowledge it 100% follows the rules.
EDIT
It has been over 24hrs so I did drop a message to the moderation team to ask that someone have a look at it.

In the photos are about 80 SSK, and with the ones I've already cleaned there are close to 100 plus the 9 that already went out. No Unsavers and no working AT keyboards but there are still several more locations.

Suspect some business bought a boatload of PS/2's and replaced the boards with something else (maybe aftermarket specialty boards).
Would love to know what else is hiding in there.

There is a **** ton of Apple ii stuff. Some IIc with alps. Tons more and it’s going to take time. Probably take some apple stuff to next years midwest vintage computer festival. There are actual ps2 to go with the ssk but we haven’t touched those yet.
If there are PS/2 towers, I could possibly go for a Mod 80 or 60. Those thing were damn tanks.

So here is the low-down on the situation with a bit more details.
This collection belongs to a good friend and ex-boss. He's been involved in the computer business since at least the very early 80's. He's been a huge Apple fanatic. We recently closed the last business and he knows he needs to start getting rid of things but as you can imagine it's hard on him. This is going to be a slow process especially when it comes to the Apple stuff. Unfortunately there is a lot of damage to do to moisture and mice.
All the ALPS are in the form of Apple IIc machines so far. If I get permission to sell apple stuff it will likely be taken to the Mid-West Vintage Computer Faire 2018. Another friend from St Louis will also have a lot of old C64 stuff there as well.
That said I will let everyone know what is available Apple wise.
I did come across more full size model M and 3 more cables. The weather here today is bad (tornado warnings and watches), so I'm not out in the facility testing today. I've only been at the mechanical hobby about a year now so I'm still not super familiar with what has what in it so I'm constantly having to look up pieces on Deskthority and Wikipedia.
If anyone has a list of things you want me to be on the lookout for I'm happy to accommodate you. So far the only things thrown out have been paper goods (manuals etc) that were ruined beyond hope or repair.

It sounds like I'm going to have to look into going to this Vintage Computer Faire (regardless if you'll be there or not, that just sounds like a fascinating event by the name of it).Me too. Depending on where it is, sounds like a fun time to meet other enthusiasts.
We should have some sort of gh getogether there. It would be a nice place to put some faces to the names and talk about our favorite subject in person. :)

Thank you for the context. I am perfectly fine waiting for a long time. This is a thread that I would be watching for sure. The reason I had asked about Alps is because it seems to be one kind of switch that is hard to find in India where I am based. And the shipping+eBay from anywhere else in the world are super expensive. So yeah. Happy to hear whenever you have anything.

It's got holes similar to Cherry ML but the rest of it doesn't look like ML.

holy camoly + ssk = holy cannoli + ssk = holy sskannoli = sskannoli = sskanoly. The man must like cannoli. Duh

I didn't know ATT made boards. Or is that an M branded for ATT? Anyone know anything more?

M with custom logo/case. There's a few variations like this, like the Dell M or the relogoed Allen Bradley Industrial.

It's an AT&T Model M from my understanding, all the parts are interchangable with Model M at least except for the case and cable as the AT&T uses a RJ11 style 6 pin to PS2.

Something like that. I was excited at the time, still am, and was trying to be creative. The two probably did not mix well together.

Wow, thanks. This has an oddly nice feel to it for a dome! As you know by now it's another AT&Y Keyboard and has a 9 pin dsub connector. I dont know if the machine it goes to is in the mess or not yet.

I seem to remember the space bar being different, too.

Yep it has a normal key under it and the space bar snaps on but I replaced it with one off my personal FSK.
