Heyo,
I hear a lot of people are collecting Alps Switches from old electrical typewriters, which got me into the hobby as well :3.
Can you even reuse such switches in modern-day keyboards or is it just a collectors thing?
Do they have the same pins as Alps in old mechanical keyboards (for which I've heard one can get Pcb's etc.) or is it possible to desolder them and reuse them in such PCBs ?
Would appreciate it if someone could explain to me, why they are so desirable and what you can do out of them when you for example just found an old typewriter with green alps
Also I found this typewriter and don't know if its any good. Its a Facit 8000. Maybe you can tell me if those switches are sth to keep :-)
Thx in advance!
