Anyone know what this might be?

It's made by Oak Switch systems, so I would think it uses that mechanism...but the layout makes me not sure.

I am not 100% sure on it , but from the look of the caps i can tell its not MX or ALPS or Hi-Tec. It however does have an air of quality about it with the decent backplate . Give it a go if you can get it cheap.

This is about 50km from me... But I guess, he won't sell the keyboard on its own

Selling just the keyboard from that Symbolics machine would be a tragedy. The whole package belongs in a museum.

I think zuglufttier was referring to the IBM mainframe he linked, but I would say the same for it as well. If it were only the terminal, that would be another story, but full working mainframe/terminal setup - it would be barbaric to split it up.

By serial number, at least one would have orange alps switches

If that Symbolics 3620 was in Canada or even in the US, I would have been all over it and it would not have been split up.

Don't say anything until the board is in your hands, or the seller might cancel the the buy due to some "error" in the listing when the find out what they could have gotten xD

That's the Symbolics part no. 364000 keyboard. It's very nice
I got it directly from (the remnants of)
Symbolics in 2009 for $125. Don't bother contacting them, they're out and sold all.

P.S. That LISP machine should go the someone who wants the whole thing. Maybe 7bit, in case he wants to upgrade the Bot from Perl to LISP.

Or feeling guilty that he should be in jail for stealing that Leading Edge keyboard for what he got if for, if it works out okay

I thought this would never sell. Looks like somebody might actually pay $800 for a used IBM M15 with no description:

Could be a shill trying to validate the asking price.
Or someone with too much money for their own good.

3 lots have sold like this previously. One for $55. And another for 12.00. I messed up bidding on the 12 dollar one. I'd be interested in splitting the boards with someone/s. I really only need 1 board in good typing condition. Pm me if interested.

Now that it's out in the open, I don't see these going cheap. Before, on the other hand, it wasn't as public. :/
