It may require some cleaning and some minor mantinence but it looks like it is a good keyboard. All i will need to use it is an AT to PS/2 adapter. I'm pretty sure I can find one on eBay.

Very cool.  I am a big fan of some Chicony keyboards.

I bought several NIB KB-5181 keyboards from a wholesaler in Phoenix.  The 5181s use blue SMK Monterey key switches that are a pleasure to type on - sharp tactile bump, with a light touch.  These key switches were intended to be "ALPS like", but I don't think they feel similar to the original complicated ALPS keyswitches.  They're sort of a cross between Cherry MX Blues and buckling springs - very clicky but not too loud.

I have a few passive AT to ps/2 adapters lying around.  If you can't find one easily, I'll send you one.  You may need to get a blue cube ps/2 to USB adapter to enable your 5161 to work with a modern PC.  ClickyKeyboards.com has them for $15 and ripster has posted another online source where you can get them for $7.

Thanks for the info. I would be very thankfull if you would be able to send me an adapter, seeing as how I have no way to use the keyboard unless I have one. Just tell me where to send my information and I'll get that to you.  Should I send it via email or via a message in the geekhack forums?
