Unidentified tenkey
« on: Fri, 21 June 2013, 15:06:37 »
I picked up this old number pad from an electronics store sale recently. No brand name on the case, just a few bits of text on the PCB that lead nowhere on Google. Keycaps are doubleshot, and does anyone recognize the mechanism? It's a single 14-key switch block as far as I can tell without desoldering it.

26000-0 26002-1

A custom job for someone, you think?

Couldn't find anything on the DT wiki, which has a lot of uncommon switches, but similar ones here (6 & 35). Very nice find!

Switches are referred to as "stackpole"  (I think) by HaaTa and others. They are not too uncommon for vintage gear.

Switches similar to space invaders. May be the same manufacturer? Only these are even pre-dated even older than cherry (check that, an assumption). I have all the 3 types and feeling wise the nib space invader is the best, second would be those vintage cherry blacks, then these stackpole types.
