That's Brian, a reputable seller according to some of the more ... prolific ... members of Geekhack.

yea, I actually wrote an email this week with some questions on how i should go about restoring one of my keyboards, he replied right away with some good advice, maybe it's going towards a future sale or parts, but from the advice he gave me, he described exactly which version of the parts was inside my keyboard, and from in what model they could be found, and offered to have a look at the plate and rivet situation if i send him a picture, It sounds like he knows his trade

Already sold as well. I have to admit that was one nice looking Space saver. Did someone from here get it?

And gone :) Welcome Brian!

Did you get one? I figured you got the first one seeing as you are collecting these.

I did. The first one. Gotta hate Geekhack for doing that to me.
Edit: actually it was the second one linked from #5...

This is going to be expensive, but hey, it had "Once in a life time find!" written on it!

That's a pretty lucrative "side job."  Kudos to Brian.

Congrats! And you are looking at it the wrong way. You can use it for 10 years, and sell it for more + inflation correction to a crazy Japanese guy. You, sir, are a winner!


OK, I'll repeat that to myself a few times. Especially when its time to pick it up at the customs office and pay even more...

Oh, I forgot: Thank you, msiegel, for posting the links here! I would have missed them otherwise. :thumb:
