Keyboards / Re: What is a new old stock 1999 IBM model M Danish 1391407 spring keyboard worth?
« Last post by Snowdog993 on Wed, 18 September 2019, 20:47:56 »
Are you referring to the Model M with the custom keycaps for the Sabre Travel Network reservation system by any chance? If so, what have you found that makes that particular one any better than other similar era Model M's? Regardless, I suspect this thread is veering off topic at this point.
Yes I am and yes I purchased a Sabre from the ClickyKeyboards. I have no idea what they are asking for them, but yes, they are more rare than a 1391401. Is it any different? No.
Take a look if you want.

I just thought if you were going to buy a "special" keyboard from them, try to get one of the more rare ones.
That was all.
I was just explaining the difference between a 3rd and 4th gen Model M. What's your beef with me?

« Last post by ilpsxnus on Wed, 18 September 2019, 20:27:05 »Looks great, but please consider making the weight less complex (simpler peek-a-boo elements).
To be honest, the translation of the Majapahit logo looks like a 4-point Japanese shuriken and I am not digging it.
A simple etch of the original logo in a similar aged/worn style of the Vitruvian Man on the weight would be classy.
That would also bring the cost down for machining.
ok, what is a simpler peek-a-boo elements? do you have photo or picture for example?
Something like this. Just the emblem visible on the bottom of the keyboard.
wow did you make that ? i was also planing to do that at the beginning. but it would be expensive, the only thing we could do if we want to make that is make with laser engrave. but unfortunately kbdfans cant do laser engraving..
What do you think of this ? the meaning and essential of the logo didn't change and this would make the price much lower and less complex. please give suggestions and feed back. thank youShow ImageShow ImageShow Image
That looks really good, I want one so bad.
Bagus, and Terimah Kasih!

Interest Checks / Re: [IC] 7V - 75% Keyboard (20/07/2019 - PROTOTYPE PROGRESS PICS ADDED)
« Last post by toastyAU on Wed, 18 September 2019, 19:52:40 »i wish you the best of luck mate. atm i'm leaning towards supporting this project anyway, and absolute worst case just getting a local ano job. you're doing great my friendProvide them with a physical sample to colour match to and have the anodised sample swatch for the GB.Ah, unfortunate with the blue. How do you think you'll proceed with the blue? Go with the navy, or try to somehow work for something a bit more fitting to your tastes?Still haven't seen anything coming down the pipe that looks as good as this board. Needs to come faster!!Manufacturing has finished and they will be sending me the package this morning. I guess I'll receive it sometime next week.
One thing to note is that they weren't able to produce the blue I want for the prototype since the colour mixing produced a lot of defects so they have substituted it with a very navy instead that they use for another production run. I'll be asking for a preproduction check after the gb closes as well colour swatches for the GB.

They were just unwilling to provide a bath for the specified colour since they wouldn't be able to reuse due to the delay between the prototype and full production.
