Found a guy selling an IBM 3278 locally for around $180. Wasn't sure if it would be a good buy or not, since I can't find much info on prices online. So, is it a good deal or should I ask for lower?

Depending on the condition it's either a good deal or a great deal. Only if it's completely rusted is that too much money for it. Of course, you could always try to haggle if you don't expect any competition.

Buy it. It's a good price. There are many people here (including me) who are looking for that keyboard.

Here's the system and the monitor for that board as well. The XT computer even comes with its original box! I mean, someone grab this and send it to me! :P

It's a Unitek K-256 and there's a very good chance that it has Taiwan Jet Axis switches. That's what I harvested from a K-256 last year.

$300 chicony blue alps board.
Even though its in bad condition, somebody will probably buy it for that price. A shame.
Good to see Alps people paying through their noses instead of poor IBM zealots, being raped routinely on Flebay for ridiculous pricing on crap conditioned keyboards.

All Alps fanatics, bend over and assume the position :lol: .

That 5155 would actually be useful to me to complete mine- I'm missing those front rubber feet/trim pieces, the folding back cover panel that goes over the I/O and the extra drive would be nice.

Screw this Blue Alps business - We must all vaunt the benefits and sublime typing joy of Foam and Foil! All hail F & F boards! Buy them all! Raise their market value! Forget about Alps boards!
