clicky space invader battleship, $40+shipping OBO

[jacobolus]

Kinda dirty, supposedly has some sticky switches, and there’s some silly writing in sharpie on the back, but someone might still want it.

That doesn't look too bad, just surface dirt.

I had one of those that I bought for parts but it was just so nice (including native PS/2 with no drama) that I sold it on to somebody who really wanted it intact. Was that you, Jacobolus, or maybe rjrich?

I picked this up, unfortunately, the seller wrapped in a couple layers of 3/16 bubble wrap and threw it in a USPS large flat rate box with no other packing. As a result, it now has 2 broken key caps and a 1 inch crack in the lower left corner of the case. 

This is the third keyboard I have received loose in a USPS large flat rate box. Got lucky of the first two. Why are so many sellers so cheap on packing?

I have a Hi-Tek parts board with about 1/2 to 2/3 of its keys.

Tell me what you need, if they are common standard 1x I may be able to help you.

Also have spare switches but they are nasty to work with because they have 4 very thin wire "legs" and no strain relief at all.

Turns out dirty, it was. Smells of diesel, so I suspect it spent its life inside some type of repair shop. Here a few quick photos:






There is a small door in the rear of the case. The PCB has the footprint for what looks like could have been a set of dip switches, which is missing.
