TIMESTAMP\

Waasup again! Been a minute ay.

I've come to post, once again, some more of the best keyboards I've owned.

If the previous vintage keyboards I've sold hurt my soul to let go, these here are the keyboards that I held on to even with the other ones considered. You know these here are the ones that have a special place in my heart.

To be completely honest, I've been having a hard time letting these go than the others. The reason why I'm listing these keepers \now\ is because I've injured my dominant hand's wrist and got a permanent implement there (still recovering; 3 weeks in since posting). Made the realization that I need the space more than ever. It'll make me sad that I have to let these go, and you'll understand why when you see the items. Please respect these items ayy!

NOTE: For this listing I will heavily recommend checking the timestamp to see conditions of the keyboards before anything. This listing contains part of my collection of \vintage\ boards, so please refer to the timestamp.

Keyboards

Apple M0116 Keyboard w/ Alps SKCM Orange switches & ADBtoUSB converter \- Could you believe I chose this over the NeXT keyboard? Clean and protected over the years of me owning this instant classic. It is yellowed, comes with old marking stickers on the numpad keycaps, and some marks on the back. Doesn't effect the functionality. The Orange Alps switches in these are in fantastic condition. Papermodded with gaskets off of memory. Cleaned up and lubed stabs. Super smooth and binding only on the Enter key. I would rate these Orange Alps 8.5/10 off of that. Comes with the ADB cable and Tinkerboy ADBtoUSB converter as well. \$130\ + shipping

Silicon Graphics AT-101 Indigo Keyboard w/ SCKM Ivory (Dampened Cream) \- It might not be the Graphite variant, but it has exactly what most are looking for from it. The keycaps! Super nice italic lettering on thick PBT caps. Alphas are well loved; yellowing on the spacebar as usual. The switches are the SKCM Ivory variant, and in 6/10 condition (not bad, but got some upstroke clickyness and light binding on some keys). They haven't been cleaned up, so I'm sure the rating will be changed on a good sweep. \\NOTE:\\ The wire had been clipped out by a previous owner. Not aware if these can be converted to USB easy. Please look at the timestamp for reference. \$180\ + shipping

RARE Heath Zenith Keyboard w/ ITW Magnetic Valve LP Switches & ATtoUSB Converter \- I have to confess: This one is my white whale. This keyboard is one of the rare boards out there that has ITW Magnetic Valve Low-Profile switches than can be used in modern PCs with a simple ATtoUSB converter. Speaking of rare, this one is also just not easy to come by neither. So much features in this board. Amazing ANSI-Zenith layout. No yellowing present on the case, and it might not ever yellow. Thin PBT keycaps with its own unique profile (casket-profile, I think is what it's coined), great texture retention, and on top of that the chassis' ruggedness of a tank. Has domes under the keycaps to provide the tactility and the return. Think really round topre domes with a mechanical bottom-out. I swapped the well-used domes to the numpad side so the alphas are all consistent and T A C T I L E.

True NKRO, and I mean "true". Every single key can be pressed and actuated simultaneously due to the super intricate ITW Mag Valve Low-Profile design. It even has screw holes in the back that gives mounting options. What!? Also, the backspace is the loudest thing I've ever pressed.

This keyboard will never die. My opinion is that it even outlives IBM keyboards. This one makes me the most saddest to let go, but this can be yours, so. Comes with a 5-pin converter. \$400\ + shipping

NMB RT-102 German ISO Layout Keyboard w/ Space Invader Black Clicky Switches \- This baby is suuuuper smooth to type on. Very good feeling Space Invader Black switches. Only used like twice, and this thing is BNIB when I got it. Near Mint condition ay. Uses PS2 connector. \$60\ + shipping

ABS M1 Alps Full-Sized Keyboard w/ Alps SKCM Ivory (Dampened Cream) & Tai-Hao Cotton Candy Keycaps \- This is a weird one. I found the board as is: ABS M1 Alps keyboard modified with Tai-Hou Double-shot Alps Keycaps in Blue and Pink and SKCM Ivory switches (8/10 condition, some clicky upstroke). Also packaged with its OEM box as well. It's a clean and gorgeous black board too. Not really typed on this one much, so the keycaps retain their texture. I imagine this board makes for a really good 104 platform for Alps that isn't an Apple. USB Cable, so no conversion needed. \$90\ + shipping

Misc.

M0120 Apple Numpad \- The number pad to mix together with the M0110 keyboard. Comes with Alps SKCC Linear Switches. This one is in eh condition. The rubber feet on these are partially melted and covered with tissue to prevent sticking on any other surface. Also, the + key is missing a spring, and the bottom housing is broken. Can be fixed, but needs spare parts. Comes with the wires to connect it as well. \$55\ shipped

Bonus: Random 104 Keycapless Keyboard w/ Himake Aruz Clicky switches \- A barebones keyboard with Himake Aruz switches and a sole Alps SKCM White switch on the enter key. Switches are clicky; often compared to Alps SKCM Blue G0 switches. They might have different plate mounting than Alps as well as pin layout for the PCB, so please take that into consideration. Pretty nice switches in feeling, and I imagine the sound would be nice in a custom as well. The keyboard hasn't been tested, but it uses the 5-pin connector. \$35\ + shipping. May include free in the purchase of the Heath Zenith keyboard upon request.

I am willing to do bundles with these listings, and they will take priority above all else. Just PM me what you want bundled together and we'll discuss it.

CONUS shipping preferred, but can ship worldwide (shipping payment necessary). Can do local in NYC only. Comment before PM please, no chat. No trading for other keyboards at the moment.

Thank You!

PS: don't be surprised if I throw in some keyboard-related trinkets in the packaging.
