Finally XT's are coming back down after the recent period of unrealistic overpricing.

Now if only the Blue Alps hype/hyper-inflation would die off, already.

That's actually "I'd eat off that" material compared to some of the NSFL boards I've cleaned out. -shudders-
I have no doubt. It's probably just dusty more than anything else. I've seen my share of horror shows, too...
Hell, there's a Unicomp-made Model M at my work hooked up to a terminal emulator that looks fine on the outside, but there's hair, debris, and all manner of horrors crammed underneath the keys. I feel so sorry for the poor thing.

Yeah... I didn't think XTs in GOOD shape were worth more than $60. As to the Blue Alps... Keep 'em high, gents. Let me tax the idiots before the price drops.
If you're into Filcos, maybe a good auction?

Only most of them.
Once I figure out what I've got and how much I'll consider starting a sales thread. My goal isn't huge profits with this buy -- it's to break even and have a few more collectibles of my own (while contributing a bit to the community). Shipping on over 15 keyboards will be a nightmare...
Redmaus already started harassing me about the Green and Yellow Alps 'boards, but he has some compelling trade options that made early communication necessary.

Anyone got any idea what this is:

The keyboard looks mechanical to me.

The Supersport SX used Alps Integrated Domes, so I'd lean toward that. It may be another Alps switch, though.

Somebody get it and take it apart
Who got the Alps mini computer I posted yesterday ? Anonymous ?

The Zenith SuperSport 286, SuperSport and SX have Alps Integrated Domes. The keycaps are doubleshot and are alps compatible
Here are some more details and images:
photos-f62/june-minihaul-t5967.html
And the wiki entry for the switches:
wiki/Alps_integrated_dome
I know because I almost paid 50Eur for a
SuperSport hoping that it has green Alps switches (based on the NumLock, CapsLock and Scroll Lock windowed keys)
anyway, if you still want it, you can find them much cheaper than 100Eur

Since I've already had people trace my auctions based on a random photo I linked I won't be doing that, but I currently have some auctions in the works for dyesub Japanese Alps-boards along with some doubleshot Japanese Green Alps boards, as well as CHERRY HIROSE ORANGE(!!!!). Hopefully I can win most of these auctions, even though it's going to cost me about $400 if all of my snipes end up being exactly my max.

That seller has been offering his Beamsprings forever, nice to see he's dropping his price.
Too bad this one is missing caps.

If you plan on bidding on a small thing with US International layout (ANSI with ISO Enter) that ends in about 6 days give me a shout so we can figure something out.
Layout I'm talking about
edit : @#@#$@$ they had to do this : All proceeds go to charity.
I can't be the asshole that tries to get this as cheap as possible so here it is :

You can find them on yamaha QX3 too, but you have to check the serial, it comes sometime with the white linear version.
