I am sure it will clean up nicely! And I have a xwhatsit controller waiting, so the mangled cord is a non-issue!
Plus, I've been on the lookout for one of those a while now, and funds were available, and I am weak..

FWIW, the AT is one of the few relatively common keyboards I don't have. I have a Displaywriter beam spring, an F122 and an F107 but not an AT. Funny that. So chzel, enjoy your AT.

The AT's a hell of a board, I'm sure you'll have fun with it Chzel! Not everyone's lucky enough to get a $25 Cindy special like me. Anything up to 100 Euros is a perfectly good price, I'd say.

Doesn't look like one, reminds me more of the BTC 5100

I agree. SIIG minitouch has really tiny (half height) function keys. BTC has slightly smaller than usual function keys but larger than the SIIG minitouch.

hoping to get one. Maybe no one will bid because of damage/missing keys.

I'm hoping to get at least one to fix them up with my abundance of spare Model M and Model F parts.

My favorite Cherry switch! Thanks! Two are headed my way. One may get a spare set of Vortex PBT doubleshots. I may just sell the other. But shipping for two was only a dollar or two extra...

Yeah, It would be great if someone could resurrect these beasts.
