Old FK-2001 in the local Goodwill
« on: Sun, 16 June 2013, 18:40:35 »
Anytime I am at thrift stores/yard sales/fleas markets (often) I always keep an eye on the keyboards hoping for a good Model M to show up.  Well, I found another old favorite of mine I owned back in the 90's.  The FK-2001, $5.95 at goodwill, hiding in a box under a stack of crappy Dell Quietkeys and HP media garbage.  The top is filthy, but all the caps are there and look good, no dust cover.  White ALPS switches, the big-a enter key, and the \ key between right ctrl and alt.

Talk about lucky.  As time permits I am going to get the requisite adapters, clean it up, and I am not sure I want to keep this baby or sell it.  What would you do with it?

I love the switches and salvaged them. You could pull the switches and wait for the GH60 Alps or TKL Alps project that are coming up.

The case is yellowed but the switches look clean.

Freshen it up and use it, those are good boards.
