Title: Did someone here win this old Cherry terminal part?
Post by: phoenix on Thu, 15 April 2010, 16:46:25

This was a couple days ago.

The winner buys a huge amount of keyboards. If it's someone here, would you please comment on what the part is and if the keys are compatible with modern Cherry stems? I was the first bidder but had no intention of spending more than $20 in total so I easily lost... The double width black Escape was the attraction to me if the board cannot otherwise be adapted to work on a pc. It has a very nice layout.

I put lines through zeros for clarity reasons. Doesn't help though that nobody knows what it means anymore...

"Is that an O?"

"There's a line through it you know..."
