[WTB/T] 8x Monterey Alps/SMK Alps mount
« on: Mon, 14 September 2015, 00:22:52 »
I need just eight. Up for trade I have:

* some SMK Cherry mounts
* more than a hundred genuine complicated white Alps that need to be lubed, maybe cleaned
* or an entire wkl Focus 2001 with some missing modifier caps, includes above white Alps

But if you want the entire board I may need to charge for shipping. The keyboard does have some flaws, I'll send you some detailed pictures if you're interested.

Good luck. About a year ago I thought that somebody was trying to buy a junk blue Monterey keyboard and part it out (could it have been Comrade Sniper?) but I can't remember what happened.

I have some of the clicky white SMKs but I have never looked to see whether the (switch) mount is the same as the Montereys. They do not have Alps cap mounts.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Do your switches look like these ? That's the same "Cherry mount" variant I have. I'm looking for the Montereys because they should be (at least nearly) identical to the ones I have in all aspects except cap mount.

It just occurred to me that since SMKs are incompatible with almost all PCBs, I'm unlikely to find a few unused switches. I might have to troll eBay for a while in hopes of an old broken board.
