That's funny - I actually saw an old Epson FX/RX printer in service over the weekend at a credit union office here in Long Beach. The case looked like it had seen better days, but it was working same as it always had.

I know what you mean about bringing more parts home, have the scars to prove it. I actually got rid of a couple of cases/old systems and an extra CRT monitor a few months back because nobody wanted them. Now that we're back in LA I don't have much room for 'stuff' anymore...

Good Afternoon:

Nice website! But they are all sold. So I guess we aren't the only ones looking for 'clicky' keyboards.

Lou - I can kick myself for not having more of those keyboards to just grab one when needed.

When I go to hamfests I always head to the flea market area and look through the piles of used computer equipment but have never found my favorite keyboard.

But, I have found things like Epson dot matrix printers for free however. We are talking the MX, RX and LQ series. My only issue with those is if show up at my house with anymore equipment my wife labels as junk I may need the services of a divorce lawyer. I have an RX-80 that is packed in the basement if my hamshack ever gets set back up.

Regards,

Jack

How about: http://www.clickykeyboards.com/

(My favorite was a Mac SE-era keyboard. The keys were about 2" high,

and clicked away like a typewriter. I could type like a demon on that.

[And by "demon" I mean that I could blaze away at about 45 wpm, up

from my usual 30+. <g>])

After it died (didn't survive a relocation, which was the last time I let ANYONE pack up any of my computer equipment) I wasn't able to find another one. I ended up getting a Logitech gaming keyboard for $80 and it is still going strong after 5 years (and 2 more relocations). 18 programmable keys x 3 levels is way more than I need, and the backlit keys are a nice touch. Nicely laid out, nice feel... when you spend as much time on a keyboard as we do the little things mean a lot.
