Aydin Controls 5119-0002-000 Keyboard
(eBay)
A bit over $200, so not cheap. Looks great, though, I'm sure you'll agree... And if it's like
this one on DT
(and it seems like the same vintage), it'll have magnetic reed switches, which are pretty cool and unusual (
in-depth discussion of them here
.)
Even if it's not a Great Find, I thought you'd enjoy seeing and knowing about it; I did.

This thing has been on ebay since at least 2014
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=53604
It’s still bouncing around ebay now. Current listing:

FWIW, the keycaps should be Cherry MX compatible, cf.

The reed switches are kind of interesting:

Ah, ASM magnetic reed. I actually have one of these switches. Iirc they're not MX compatible though. Shame the board is so expensive because it looks awesome
