"It's 110, but it doesn't feel it to me, right. If anybody goes down. Everybody was so worried yesterday about you and they never mentioned me. I'm up here sweating like a dog. They don’t think about me. This is hard work.
Do you feel the breeze? I don't want anybody going on me. We need every voter. I don't care about you. I just want your vote. I don't care."

Note lack of cord and testing, though.

Quote from: {Ebay Listing}
We go through a lot of electronics and computer equipment and do not have the time to hook them all up and check them out. You may get a fantastic deal or a pile of junk! Hope for a great deal but be prepared to get junk. Please understand this BEFORE bidding.


Mmmmmmkay, I call shenanigans on that one. He has time to sort through electronics, photograph them, and make ebay listings for each item... but plugging them into a machine is too much to ask? He should have no problem with spare cords knocking about as an electronics recycler, and a computer without a bootable device is fine for testing a keyboard.

The usual question: What kind of switch?
I had a sig once but it's gone. It used to display an icon of a Kinesis. Just imagine that.

The one I used to have had white Alps and was pretty nice.

I kind of wish I still had it.

This board tested and working properly could go for twice the listing price, but Jigo is right, it is very easy to plug it in for a minute or two.

RAT BASTAAAAAAAAARD
I was deliberately not posting this while I debated upon buying it. Are the cords for these replaceable?
Risen from the dead for a model F.

Wyse buy colors were GSY for the dark grey, GBA for the light grey, and BBI for the fonts.

You should be able to pick up a cable from Northgate Keyboard Repair.

It's just a female PS/2 on the board.
