Christmas came early...

[William Sudbrink]

Thanks for the link.  I just opened both of them (I didn’t take pictures, maybe later).  The GRI is a factory 753.  It is spotless inside, wired per spec.  I made a 753 work-alike for my IMSAI with the Processor Technology Subsystem B board set:

I can’t wait to check it out and replace my Frankenstein keyboard with it.

 

The other keyboard contains a “Cherry 026-0738 Art Rev. C” keyboard unit.  It also has “001-1085” on the board. The board has three ICs “dead bugged” on the back of it with “white wires” running all around, including to the I/O edge connector.  I’m not familiar with this unit, I’m starting to look for schematics now.

Hi Bill,

 

They are both great looking period keyboards but I do particularly love the George Risk keyboard.  It might not be a model 756 but I do have some documentation and hopefully it can help.  Check http://vintagecomputer.ca/files/George%20Risk%20Industries/

In the form of an estate sale.  The first in a long while where I found anything interesting.  In addition to buying a large box of 7400 and 4000 series chips, all with 1970's date codes, I got two vintage keyboards:

The estate sale employees have no idea where the associated systems (if any) are.  They did not see them during the sale preparation and have not sold them.  I also got a manual and set of 8 inch floppies for "Unicorn Systems Software Tools For CP/M".  Twenty floppies, all with factory labels, various libraries, utilities and documentation files.  I have not made a careful study of them yet (I just got home with them an hour ago).
