GMK DOLCH [COMPLETE]

[lightsout714]

Having 'Enter' text on one key is no big deal... it's how the French do it!

On an un-related note, we need some GB's to offer those arrows!

Thats funny because I looked at them and thought "hideous!"

Different strokes...

Agreed, they look out of place. 

[ideus]

It is a shame there is so few love for the ODD set. No way for those that want the set for a minority market keyboard.

[Battou62]

Base and Space are so close! Let's go people

[TLSC.wipeOut]

Hello Ivan! I edited my order, doubled up on the base pack, colour pack, and extra spacebars. Please let me know if it went through correctly. Thanks!

[V1ral]

I feel so poor, but I couldn't resist. Ordered a base set and the color pack. ;w;

[gojira54]

yay new keys at last

[skuko]

i caved in aond ordered a base, color and extra spacebar. DAMN YOU!

[Battou62]

Spend enough time in the classifieds and on ebay and you begin to realize how hard it is find something nice in cherry porfile : /

[IvanIvanovich]

I suppose that depends on your definition of nice. You can find white on black, black on beige doubleshots or DE dyesubs almost any week. Certainly other colorways are much fewer and far between since there are only a handful of boards that had such which probably had much smaller production in their lifetime.

Please enlighten me on how to do so.

wyse sets. they are all over the place.

wyse sets. they are all over the place.

I just sold 3 terminals The thick sets are pretty nice, but it is hard to find them in good condition and hard to get rid of the yellowing.

[domoaligato]

denture tabs... I let them set over night.

[Battou62]

I did use dental tabs, but not over night. I did use 12% hydrogen peroxide though, and didn't have much success. Sorry to go OT Ivan

[IvanIvanovich]

Just look frequently on all the ebays In addition to searching for the obvious, you have to know the not so obvious as well. But, I'm not going to give away all the secrets because I don't want all kinds of competition. 

[whentheclouds]

i don't remember if this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but is the teal of the color pack based on the Triumph Adler set? would be pretty cool to have it as a GB some time in the future

picture for reference:

[IvanIvanovich]

That color is actually from UV damage... it's not supposed to look like that at all. Those keys were actually originally bright blue.

The COLOR pack here will actually be cyan, the mock up is not color accurate.

Would it be the same as Dolch Green?

And cyan like this:


Or bright cyan like this one?

[IvanIvanovich]

Same cyan as before

[Zeal]

Ah, I see. I'm cool with that.

This should be more accurate, though still not 100%

[RaVNzCRoFT]

While we're talking color, I guess I'll ask this as well:  Will the alphas in this GB be closer in color to this or this?

I think you may have just sold me on the color pack. I so can't wait for this set. Got a new KUL that they will be going on.

a shame, it looks really good to me

nice mockup. it's rather bright in contrast with the darker themed base set, but i'll still pick up a pack anyway

..okay must edit order now.  ^-^

[Elrick]

Dear Ivan,

Are we there yet?  Just interested in knowing if the hallowed MOQ has been attained as of yet  .

[duzeyao]

Hi Ivan. Thanks for organizing this GB cuz I'm big fan of dolch set.
I'm interested in ordering like 5 sets but I wonder what if some keys are missing (for whatever the reason) when I got the pack.
Will you prepare some replacement keys for this situation or I'll take the risk myself?
My apologize if this is a silly question  )

[IvanIvanovich]

I take care of packing mistakes that are my fault in one way or another, but do not take responsibility for the post service to loose or damage thing.

Dear Ivan,

If you require extra shipping payment that provides tracking info and insurance from your place please let me know?

I will not lose this Key-set to the idiot postal morons out there, without money being offered to protect me from their mistakes.

[IvanIvanovich]

I have no problem sending thing insured with express if you want to pay for that. Just PM me about it when it's invoice time.

[minho]

What would the price differential be? (Specifically, shipping to USA).

[IvanIvanovich]

The cost of insurance is based on the total value you insure it on... I think probably most people wouldn't need to pay more than $6 extra for it.
For international folks, remember you get a trade off on insurance. You will have some recourse if it is lost or damage, but the EXACT TRUE value must be marked so be prepared to pay import fee.

[ApocalypseMaow]

Resubmitting your order deletes the old one right? I think I remember reading that...

[Zeal]

Correct.

As long as the total replacement value isn't above $1000AUD then it's fine to put it in.  Thus far that elected Moron in Canberra hasn't past his nasty taxes just yet hence I may still get a few more key-sets into this gawdforsaken Crap Town before the tax raping starts.

Thanks Ivan for allowing this because losing any GMK sets through delivery is simply so horrible to contemplate, scares me to think what I'll do when I next head into town  .

BASE MOQ has been reached

AND SPACE !

**** YEAH!

[tjweir]

Awwww yeah!

[Leska]

Changed my order for an extra spacebar

[geniekid]

Looks like ODD will not make it.  Part of me is sad, but part of me is glad I won't be paying $55 for an R3 Control key

[cjhard]

I really wanted that R3 Control key though
And maybe even those extra shift-size keys in case I wanted to build a double space layout or something weird like that.

[GSimon]

I ordered some more keys about a week or two ago although I haven't been invoiced for it yet. I know that editing your current order replaces the old one, but I already paid for a color pack so that doesn't need to be invoiced again.

Edit: nvm, must of paid for something else
