Does it rock - is the stability affected due to the missing foot? Can we have a shot of the underside :)

Also, what exactly would you need to use this with a modern PC - or is that not the point?

What would you need to use these an a modern PC?

Does the missing foot affect balance? Does it rock on the desk?

You can't use a terminal keyboard on a normal PC without some very heavy modding. Mostly this keyboard is only any good for the keycaps and switches. I've not really cleaned the keyboard as it's pretty useless.

Also spare the spacebar and caps you can't use, if feeling generous.

The controller on the board runs at a totally different speed. So its not a simple of changing the RJ9 for a 6pin mini din.
You'd need to map the board out and solder a teensy in there. Well worth the effort as they are well built boards.
Would be nice to see someone from the UK keep the board in tackt,  and take it on as a project due to the condition its in.

You really want some vintage blacks don't u... I may do a desoldering session this weekend and see if I have enough to spare.  I'm after some of those custom springs so if you get enough could work out a trade?
