BRK OUT by weteor

Finally found some fitting caps for my BRK OUT: Vintage Triumph Adler harvested from a Gabriele 9009 typewriter.

Actually the whole machine is giving me a geek-gasm
- It's quite the chonker 😅
  
  What's it like to type on? Is it clicky?

What, and they just fit?!
Edit: It looks great!
- pretty much, yea! The Gabriele used cherry MY switches iirc, and the stems are very similar :)
  
  Aha, interesting! This opens up an entirely new category of things to look for in thrift stores, for me. It hadn't occurred to me that electrical typewriters would be of relevance! Thanks for the learning!

My god, that looks incredible
- Thank you! :) Hoping to get a case printed in retro beige for the full old school look...
  
  That sounds so rad! I'd love to see it again when you have a beige version :)

what is this keyboard layout? looks gorgeous btw
- it's aptmak plus random caps on the keys i don't use :)

Where's the E?
- right thumb :)

That looks 👌

So cool! I've been hoping to see one of these daughterboard orthocades in the wild. Have any extra parts? Would love to build one
- Got all of it through a mini-groupbuy, so just one set of components for me... I bet you'd find other people to share with, though! 😊

beautiful build as always 😍
- Thank you Bubble! 💚
