[.de] Focus FK-5001 35EUR BIN

Some keys look kind of yellowed, but seeing how rare it is it might still be of interest to some.

Not much under. 35 Euro is about 50 USD.

I got mine for $1.5. It goes well with my 9 inch penis.

Congrats on whoever got that Focus. They are excellent keyboards, on par with Filcos I would say. And that integrated calculator? To die for.

What's real neat about that Focus is the fact that it's in a German layout.

Thanks :)

That is some seriously weird yellowing.. Wonder what the hell has happened to it. Hopefully a good cleaning will make it look less fugly. How are the switches? Are they very worn?

I didn't try it, but I don't think these switches are worn out.
The keys still have a good amount of texture.

The yellowing is obviously from sunlight.

Okay, great. :)

It's just that the keys are so unevenly yellowed, makes it look a bit strange. I personally don't really care about that (the kb I'm using now is about as yellowed as the FK), as long as the switches are in good health I'm happy. :)

We'll be harassing our vintage Sun hardware-provider either tomorrow or Thursday, hopefully we'll get a couple of those sweet Ultra 5's to pass along. I don't know what they weigh, but I think shipping for one of them will be somewhere between 40-80 EUR. I don't think the SparcStation 5's are worth that much (too slow, obsolete SCSI interface), but an Ultra 5 might be. Will keep you informed with what we manage to score.

I'm also really looking forward to getting the keyboard! Thanks again! :)
