Help identify an old keyboard
« on: Sat, 13 June 2015, 10:53:02 »
So I recently got a bunch of old electronic stuff and in that stuff I found a really old keyboard with the old din5 connector and everything, but I can't find a smidge of information about it on the internet.  It's called a tymshare model 470 and I just wanna know about it.  Pictures attached of the keyboard if anyone could shed some knowledge on the thing.

Switches definitely look like old Hi-Teks.
