Based on their feedback I'm not sure that I would want to deal with this seller.

A couple of interesting small form factor vintage keyboards. I know nothing about these switches, however. The keys look cool though. One of them has a manual, which maybe would tell you what you need to wire up an interface (assuming you have soarer-level godlike abilities). It reminds me of the coleco adam keyboard a bit, with the big wide function keys. I'm assuming it sucks to type on, but...

These do look exactly like Coleco Adam boards. My Coleco Adam board is incredibly Topre-like with high quality Japanese rubber domes over a membrane and spherical key caps. At that price - 35 USD shipped within the US - you might find a full Coleco Adam board with some patience.

I think the "Archer" branded boards are from the Coleco Adam.
I've seen a few different types of boards -- Commodore 16-style, TI99/4A style, and Adam style-- all in Archer branded bags. I think they just bought out manufacturer surplus when the models left the market, then sold them as keyboards for hobbyist projects.

Ah, the Ortek battlecruiser! Not cheap for the condition it's in, but genuine Alps and it's a cool board, and almost as big as a battleship

Well the seller posted new mod packs recently: GMK red alert, very reasonable price.

Probably BTC foam and foil. Looks like the same legends like my BTC-5060. Cherry compatible caps though.

No, Key Tronic foam and foil. The font is slightly different (although similar), and the slider wells are discrete modules you can clip out

"Ferranti Seahawk Nato Keyboard/controlboard":
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ferranti-Seah ... 2156965741
5 available. While they don't look that enjoyable to use, they do have some interesting keycaps. Does anyone know more about these boards (e.g. the switch type)?

I feel like that Seahawk keyboard should have a "FIRE" button on it xD .

It says "missing 2 keys ", but I believe there are four keys missing (f8, f12, and the * and 0 keys on the numpad).
The f8 was probably a regular colored one, but the other ones might be hard to replace

The seller does note this somewhat, but incorrectly so, since they apparently do not realize that the function key caps are actually missing and not replaced with ones that are not "original" to the board.
Having seen this earlier, it definitely would have been more tempting if it weren't missing those key caps.

Looks like the keycaps you normally find on Cherry M8 switches.

These Model Ms are pretty neat, P/N: 1394618, a Displaywriter version and the 101-key counterpart to the Displaywriter SSKs with stepped Ctrl/Alt modifiers.

Shame they don't have the stepped caps themselves though.

Not sure about "genuine" Alps, Chyros. I have a working theory all Ortek 142s shipped with SKBM Simplified switches, and I think this one's no exception--the upside down bold Alps logo is a fairly telltale sign of Simplified White Alps, which are pretty yucky switches IMO.
In any case, yes, it's probably overpriced for the condition it's in. Ohaimark's board was in MUCH better condition, excepting the switches themselves.
$125 is actually about how much that NIB German 142 sold for back in January, so yeah, I think the seller is overreaching here.

That's a really nice find, especially for the those who own Displaywrite SSKs but need those few missing caps! The Shifts and Enter are also different from a "og" 1392464 as are a few SSK specific keys...still, the Exit key almost makes the purchase worth it just for that cap.
I am really tempted to pick one up to see if the dye-sublimation is really thick like the 1392464 - it's a little hard to tell from the picture and it looks just a bit thin...but I just bought a HHKB Type-S so I'll let someone else have them

I am tempted...
But at that price it isn't worth it. Maybe I can offer the seller 50 or something.

That is a lot to be asking for just for the keycaps, although they are quite cool.
