Delta Data Systems - Hall effect sculpted

I found this keyboard on eBay, and posted it here:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=73397
As you were all so kind as to let me have it, here are photos! This is a Delta Data Systems keyboard with Micro Switch Hall effect switches. I have not had a chance to open it yet but when I do I will post more photos!
(This is a cross-post with DT, but for once, I'm posting here first!
)
For those of you who are not familiar, Micro Switch Hall effect switches are vintage fairly heavy linear switches with extremely thick doubleshot key buttons. Travel is about 4-5mm. The keys are almost always spherical. Flat profiles are more common so I get very excited when one with sculpted keys comes along.
dorkvader has a bunch of keyboards with these switches.
Photos!

The switches are very nice! They just feel so retro. Heavy and satisfying, completely smooth. These are a little dirty though, I'll need to give it a thorough cleaning.
This is me playing with some ideas for layout. Unfortunately the lower left numpad button is large which means I need an extra key to really pull this off. But I like the idea of the inverted-T pad.
