#3 was used in the Dharma Initiative:


And was last used in The Swan station.  Interesting that it survived the explosion.

I have this one.  It does have double-shots.  However, it also has some issues:

1) Non-tactile, heavy, linear switches.  20 quarters gets you halfway to the bottom.
2) Silent action all the way down, with a soft ping only when you release the key.
3) RJ11 jack that won't connect to your PC.
4) Big plus-shaped stems that are annoyingly incompatible with any modern switches.

Not recommended.  I would bet the other two are similar.

Wife got me this last year, surprised no one has commented on it... but maybe it scares off anyone who knows what it means.

I think we're about to see some big things happening with Hurley in the next episodes.
