Posted by: Sherry Haibara on 2015-01-11 12:30:37 Well done! That's what I call a good trade!

Posted by: Scott Baret on 2015-01-11 16:38:38 Even more impressive is that you got two keyboards and two external hard drives!! Are they both platinum?

Posted by: Jake Lebovic on 2015-01-11 19:29:30 Yeah they look like platinum, one is slightly yellowed. Also, one of them I sometimes need to smack a couple of times to get the crt on. Any ideas what the problem is? Just a loose connection?

Posted by: Scott Baret on 2015-01-11 19:31:39 Bad solder joints. There's a thread somewhere on here about that problem with some photos of which ones you'll want to freshen up.
