[WTB] 65 Vintage MX Black Switches
« on: Sat, 01 December 2012, 17:19:33 »
I want some vintage Cherry MX Black switches to use with my new 65g springs. Would like 65 to be safe.

Thanks!

Are the blacks on 3700s "vintage"? If so I have 21 if you want them.

Not sure if the 3700s are. You can identify them by the Cherry logo on the switch.

I'll try to remember to take a look when I get back home tomorrow.

I can sell you a full pcb from a g80-3000 HAD. Price is 30€ for the pcb plus shipping. If I fold the pcb I can send it for 5€. If you want an intact pcb it will be 10.

I can send you a pic of the switches so you can confirm they are vintage once my new sd card comes in on monday.

The PCB I wouldn't be worried about but can you fold it such that none of the switches are damaged? Also, can we include my TP set to save on overall shipping somehow?

Have you confirmed they are vintage and this is just for my benefit or are you not sure and I need to verify they are?

To me the logo looks just like the "vintage" photo you linked to.

Just need to make sure the text sits a little lower and more wide spread across the surface, then you're g2g!  But personally, 62 or 65g springs + modern black stems feel pretty nice too =)
