Title: Possible Northgate Omnikey on shopgoodwill.com
Post by: 2-bit Joe on Mon, 31 October 2022, 20:45:15

Up for auction is a lot of 18 keyboards "for parts and repair" that seems to include a Northgate Omnikey: https://shopgoodwill.com/item/154099064

One of the other beige keyboards looks like it has a double row of function keys up top, so it could be a "battle cruiser" (122-key model) of some species.

Less than 24 hours remaining in this auction.  Not really enough information for me to be interested in bidding.  "tested not to function properly in some or the other way".

Nice find, and even the shipping cost is quite reasonable considering it's 53lbs of keyboards.   For example, from their location in California to me all the way over here in Maine, the shipping quote is only about $45.
