WYSE Cherry board $6 BIN
« on: Mon, 14 July 2014, 15:47:28 »
I am not too up-to-date about the market value of these boards, but it looks like a good deal to me...

Haha "Great source of switches"

FYI, the only stabilizer on this is the screw-down PCB mount spacebar stab. All other keys are 1.75 units or less.

Oooh Asheville, pretty close to me! If it wasn't in such bad condition I might've tried to go buy it.

I think a much better one just cost under $45, this might not be a good deal if you are looking fgor vintage black nad keycaps.

You might get lucky and get a few vintage blacks, even! :P

If anyone does buy it to harvest, my WYSE board is missing the 'Home' and 'F1' keys and I'd love to buy them.

Do it! Then send me the Home and F1 keys!
Honestly though you probably won't find one cheaper than $6.

Looks a lot like the thick Wyse set too.  I seem to remember them being a little curvier.

all the WY-50 keyboards I've seen are thick. This is to be contrasted with the WY-16 (non stepped) which are usually thin.
