Northgate Omnikey 101 "for parts" SOLD

Not a "Great" find but a good one.

Keyboard needs some work, but this is a phenomenal chassis if you want to transplant your preferred Alps into it.

“The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.” - George Carlin

"Politicians have been proving Carlin right for decades. The GOP and the second Trump Administration seem bent on doing what they’ve always done, sometimes even turning the American Dream into the American Nightmare. Taxes are a major contributor, especially the billions upon billions that the rich and corporations don’t pay. Trump and his fellow Republicans are committed to keeping it that way — and, if their slim Congressional majorities can stick together, to do even more for those who need it the least. As one small example, the overall corporate tax rate could drop to 20%; domestic manufacturers could do even better, ending up with an effective corporate rate of 15%. The federal tax code is famous (and infamous) for its huge handouts to those with the highest incomes, the most egregious being the cap on Social Security taxes."

Quite right you are! Thank you

I have seen people asking: "What is the best chassis for Alps?" since so many of the originals came in poor-quality cases.

This, in my opinion, is the best option with a stiff heavy back and high-quality components throughout. Plus it is straight ANSI style with no drama.
