Does my AT101 (GYUM97SK) have pine black alps?
« on: Thu, 28 January 2021, 15:14:56 »
Hi all, first post here. I just won an ebay auction for an at101 97sk. I've heard that these have the nicer "pine" alps blacks, but the only evidence i've seen for that is on old logo models, and this one has a new logo. Does this have the pine blacks? Would also be nice to know if they have the pbt caps. Thank you!

You can examine it but not until you get it. You might get lucky but don't get your hopes up.

The easiest and best test for PBT is to pull a key cap and swirl a tiny drop of acetone (= nail polish remover) around for a second with a pin or a match stick. If they are PBT, the acetone will evaporate and nothing will happen, but if they are ABS the acetone will soften the surface and you will see a mark where you touched it.

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

Is there any way to find this out with the back label? the ebay listing has a very clear picture of it and id love to get a manufacture date or something
