I went to a kind of yard sale today where people in one part of town all sell stuff in their front gardens or in the courtyards of the apartment buildings. It's always a good opportunity to peek into people's houses and, since this was in a nice old part of Cologne, see how the other half lives. I also got a keyboard out of it!
It's a "Litron"-branded Nan Tan Company KB-6252ER and it cost me all of EUR 5. The keyboard is really heavy and although the plastic has yellowed some, there is no dirt and the keys aren't scuffed at all. I haven't looked inside, but I wonder if this has seen any use at all! The keycaps themselves seem kind of flimsy and light, though.
The switches are apparently amber Omron B3G-S's.
Also, someone was offering an old Soviet-made Lomo TLR camera close to where I lived, so I swung by after work the other day and picked it up for a very reasonable price. The shutter fires, all speeds work, it doesn't seem to leak light -- seems like it was hardly used at all. All in all I'm very pleased with this one 😀
