Interesting board, IMO:

Nice find! I actually picked one of these up with vintage whites I guess you could call them (the switches Cherry with clear stems/black click collar, made before blues meant to just have hysteresis & not click) for $80 a couple weeks back. I'm gonna pull the whites for my collection & rebuild the board with a better feeling switch. Overall it's a decent vintage board IME, the caps are thin DCS type though.
