Hello GeekHack!
« on: Sun, 17 May 2015, 15:28:38 »
Hello!

A few months ago I began collecting vintage keyboards through my work (E-Waste recycling). Using knowledge gained from lurking here and perusing r/mk I discovered a few keepers. Right now my collection at home consists of:

  • Pair of IBM model M 1391401's ('87, '88),
  • 1397952 '93 Model M which is in the process of being restored/modified,
  • LK201 and an AEKII each in process of being restored. (the restoration work is pretty on/off though)

At work I use a Cherry ML 4400USB and a CNF 1804 External Numeric Keypad (simplified white ALPS).

Also waiting on parts for an ortholinear build to ship. Some of the boards aren't really in good enough shape that I feel like taking pics but here's the ones that are: home, work

Edit: removed portion of OP that could be interpreted as advertisement.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Nice job - nice finds :)

Rules about classifieds posting are a bit strict, but in olden times some people interpreted the old rules a bit loosely, and all sorts of things went on.  But if you can get 2 months membership and 25 posts or whatever it is now, I'm sure people will be more than interested in buying some of your finds!

That Alps keypad looks very interesting.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
