Zenith ZKB-2 (green or yellow alps)

These boards have either complicated green or yellow alps.  If it has green alps it would be a steal.  It's listed as "for part" since the seller hasn't tested it.

They are smoother and have a shorter throw.  Also, alps!

Hmmm... We like ALPS and any other keyboard that sounds like castanets!

Then again, we also like smell of a newly-unboxed 1983 vintage Commodore 64 (Mmmm, those toxic PCBs...)  :D
