Hey all!
This is my first time posting
in GH and I hope this project excites you as well as I
do.
I’ve been in the community just a bit over a year
but already went down the rabbit hole deep and hard (no pun
intended!). In all my interactions with the community
members, I’ve found a certain niche of people that adores
vintage keyboards, especially vintage IBM Model F and M. But
seeing that it’s a niche segment, it kinda puts me on the
edge whether to pursue with this project or not. So here
goes.
TL;DR
As I’ve felt in love with keyboards I
kept on learning new stuff every day, and one day I stumbled
on vintage keyboards. It’s really hard to find vintage
keyboards here in my country (I hail from Indonesia). But
this summer as I talked with my dad who’s been in the tech
industry for the last three decades, he told me that he has
access to old containers full of IBM mainframe keyboards! I
got excited and asked around in discord whether some folks
are interested in getting one and here we are. The only
issue is that the container lot is a three-hour flight from
my city and it’s a 4-5 hour drive from my dad’s city.
Another hurdle is that there are loads of containers that we
have to sift through to find those amazing keyboards. So I’m
posting this IC to really know whether or not there’s a
demand for this. Frankly speaking, those keyboards have been
in the dust for the past 20-30 years so some might work and
some don’t. So please prepare for the worst.
