Any good vendors of pre-harvested vint blacks?

Wanting to try some vint blacks but don’t have a desoldering gun and willing to pay a premium for someone else to have harvested them for me.

I’d highly recommend https://elecshopper.com/en/ when they open up post-covid

I joined this group buy, but obviously can’t vouch for the results! Fingers crossed, though. https://eunbu.com/products/nos-cherry-vintage-blacks-one-last-chance

Those are from ru_mi, I can vouch for them being legit. The batch of 88 I got from one of his raffles on reddit is very smooth & consistent, was a bit cheaper than this GB price there though. All in all I’d say it’s still worth it if you don’t feel like harvesting & cherry picking used switches!

That’s so great to know, thanks for backing them up! I was very intrigued by the group buy and couldn’t help myself, as it seemed like a really unique opportunity to try vint blacks (coming from someone who won’t have the resources/time to try to track down some boards to desolder right now)
