Found this on ebay with decent BIN price, and bought it :D. It has a beige barrel plate. The box is a little beat up, but the keyboard is pristine. It also comes with a manual still in shrink wrap.

Congrats for that find. The best keyboard of all time. And NIB....what more can I say?

Nice find! NOS and vintage NIB is so great. It'd be cool to watch unboxing videos of such items, just as they would have been back in the 80's only in HD!

Haha, it is clean! It is not dirty at all. No cleaning needed. 5 broken rivets, that's all.

I can bring it. I think I will bring mostly old keyboards.

It's always the older keyboards that truly matter. Everything else is just an illusion. 8-)

How do people find rare keyboards? did you go to some type of thrift store or something?

companies really don't know what treasuries they have.

I'm just going to repost this here. Once spotted on an auction site. Sold for 50 euro or something. Including the printers in black plastic on the left. It was recycling crap for them.
