Title: [SOLD] Vintage Micro Switch Hall effect board (w/case!)
Post by: ander on Sat, 26 January 2019, 06:44:46
Okay, at $199, it's not a snatch-it-up bargain, but I thought it was cool enough to share:

RARE Micro Switch SD Seres Keyboard, catalog list. 103SD24-2, SD-16234 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Micro-Switch-SD-Seres-Keyboard-catalog-list-103SD24-2-SD-16234/382735331563?hash=item591ccdb0eb:g:fGsAAOSwYCRb5N6S:rk:1:pf:0#shpCntId#shId)

Most Hall effect boards you see are caseless, as they were designed for large consoles. (What wasn't large back then?) So it's especially cool to see a standalone version. I'd buy it if I thought I could stay married.

Is it usable on modern computers?

Not exactly and MicroSwitch is more difficult to convert but in some cases is doable. Yeah a neat looking board for sure but pricey. This one was listed before or maybe the seller had more than one.

In that case, I'm less interested... I'm a user, not a collector.

Thank you though.

Someone didn't think so. I didn't think it'd last long at that price. Now that so many more people appreciate vintage MKs, it seems like all bets are off, price-wise.  :?|
