Extremely rare version of this keyboard with a APL program Keys Caps. Referred to by most as the best keyboard ever made.This is vintage and all original. Came from the personal computer of an IBM engineer. (So this is not a keyboard that was beaten to death in some type of school or workplace environment.)I tested the keyboard by attaching it to a IBM 5150 computer using BASIC program And every key that would register in the basic program Functioned perfectly.This Model F Clicky Buckl...ing Spring Keyboard was released for PC XT 5150 5161 and other early models.
I blew out the keyboard and I did basic wipe down and it looks fantastic. I’m sure it could even be improved upon but it really looks great right now. I couldn’t find anything I would consider to be damage to the keyboard. Three of the cork cushion footers Are absent from the bottom but those are very simple to replace.
