Black ALPS Switches

Hi, I am going to take offers on the two sets of Black ALPS keyswitches that I have. They are on the PCBs, but the plastic frames have been scrapped. One of the boards is not in very good condition. There is just one Keycap for the board in poor condition, but most (not all) of the keycaps are on the other board. I do not know what brand of keyboard they came from as they were in this condition when I rescued them from a scrapper. Any questions? Just Ask.....

That rusty plate suggests a lot of pain for those poor Alps. They’re really not much good at keeping out dirt or surviving in adversity.
The other board has Windows keys (and pretty dodgy printing) so I’m guessing its switches are the later generation
simplified Alps.
Real Alps nuts will be able to ID them just from the molding and the slits. I’m merely Alps adjacent.

My guess is that both are Dell AT101W keyboards with black bamboo SKCM switches. Not for me, but somebody will want them.
