Yep - the IBM disease, you've been contaminated along with Millions of us world-wide

You are not alone it just depends on your level of infection and it's sad to inform you, that there is NO cure for this

One possible treatment is to take a trip through Cherry-land or possible take a stroll through the Alps.
Blue Alps are insanely nice, I always love typing on MX Blues after Blue alps just for the hilarity of how shit of a clicky switch mx blues are!

Suspect a dodgy effort to sell off a molested Model-M pretending it's unaltered, hence the low price.
Any other Experts want to deny or refute my statement here?
Meh I bought it, was still a very good price, especially since I have some Original IBM caps to stick on it. Plus its a square label!
I happen to own a 1390120 and it has a very crispy typing feel to it; it's one of the best Model Ms I've ever used. And I hope yours has the rainbow backplate like mine does too. Enjoy!

Oh I'm in the terminal stages of that disease as I spend all of my money on IBM terminal keyboards...I'll see myself out...

In case you missed the other 3279 Color Beamspring for $2.5K, this one starts at $3K from what looks to be the same seller, maybe different username:

That's actually a good price for here in Australia, simply due to it's shear weight. From the United States I would get smacked at around $180USD Minimum - shipping cost.

Man I just realized that it's missing the IBM logo, which is a total deal breaker. Well that and the monstrous price...

If this happens... color me unsurprised. This market surge is much larger than the last one, and alot more volume of these boards have been coming in more often. I don't see an end in this anytime soon.

Wait WHAT
It's a 6511 but it has ACER SWITCHES - goddammit, right when we figured we knew Acer article codes xD . That said, the FCC is 6300 series, though.
Second, I've never seen a black-case 6000 series before, ever. And I've seen a lot of those xD .
Third, it's flipping gorgeous. It's a K-case one, even!

I had one of those back in the day, pretty rare even when new. It matched my black Acer cases, which I'm still using on a couple PCs, but the switches were disappointing and I didn't keep it for long.
edit: here's the beige version complete with documentation if anyone's keeping track of these things:

edit2: oops - note the keyboard doesn't match the (Keytronics) box on the beige one!

What appears to be genuine Yellow Alps for a great price.

There is a white brother of the Goupil-3061 for sale, pretty good condition with Loewe branding, let's see how the bidding war will end. It's a G81-3062 HAD, so maybe these cases are part of a 3060s series.

I'm about to order a bunch if you want me to proxy them. Would probably be an extra $15 or so for international shipping.

Holy shit.... I only have 20-25 dollars in my paypal right now and I would like to order these for that Zenith (and maybe do a handwiring build with the original diodes)
not sure of it would be equivlant to the 81 switches I'd need.

Just a heads up. I have a bunch of these and if I recall correctly they are SKCL Cream, not yellows. The colour on the photos are a bit misleading.
I can take some photos tomorrow in better lighting and upload them here.
Still a nice switch though.

Kind of dirty, but a neat board... What kind of keyboard is this? Possibly Alps switches? I'm really digging the Cyrillic caps
Posted: 28 Mar 2018, 05:07
by mike52787
Probably, looks like a NTC kb-6251 to me. can't really properly read the label, so no telling if its genuine alps or clones. judging by the condition of that board though... it probably doesnt matter.
