Burroughs TP130

[HaaTa]

Had this one for a while now, but haven't had the chance to post pics.
It's a Burroughs branded Honeywell Hall Effect keyboard, and has some variants of the Hall Effect switches that I hadn't seen before. Namely, a lockable switch.

Also cool, is the entire keycap cover re-legendables.

The case quality is sorta meh, not bad, but not at the usual standards of Burroughs and Honeywell.


I have 2 of these keyboards, one with the key included. I'm open to trades, and offers. If it takes too long, I'll just donate it to some Deskthority contest.
Maybe by then I'll have a converter ready.




Probably was used for some government facility/contractor or something.




Bet'cha you've never seen triple zeros before


Dunno about the purpose of the dual one way tab keys...


Key for something, it's wired to the PCB inside.






Lolwut, FCC Non-Certified Why did Burroughs even bother...







5A3E is the lockable switch.


Keycap goodness

Got to love a keyboard with assembler printed on it.

I love the 000 key. Just in case the 00 key wasn't enough! Do you know, have you ever seen a hall effect switch keyboard that was pcb mounted instead of plate mounted?

Props for the keyboard being manufactured in Illinois, hell yeah.

I'm liking the flat profile for easy conversion to Dvorak.

Of the Honeywell stuff, only the rare modular one that was posted a couple months back (and their shape is quite a bit different).
These ones would never be non-platemounted as the internal PCB+pins are not attached. So you can just pull it out.

4 Pin version in my Hall Effect Keypads




However, there is a possibility. On the same Bud keypad, some of the switches were screwed in (above image bottom left corner, up one, notice screw marks).
So if all of the switches were attached with screws...maybe

Look at that PCB design simply beautiful

Looks like an OS map showing some very organised (and steep) hills.

fascinating. it's actually made by micro switch.

obviously the keyboard of some hardworking old-time programmer. what does it feel like to type on?

Smooth linear. So, think MX Black but without the scratchy feeling.
