It looks to be in great condition. Maybe I'll just keeps it as a collectors item.
I used to run into those at second-hand shops every few months, but haven't seen one in at least a year now. The original AEK is far more desirable, in my opinion, but much less common (there looks to be a really nice one on ebay now for about $80), than the AEK2, but some people feel the opposite.
They will not work without an ADB-to-USB adapter ($25 on ebay) and are very prone to yellowing. I have gotten several with dead switches, but that is not too hard to fix.
Those old Apple PBT keys are the best Alps keys ever made, in my opinion, but the stupid legends and bizarre layout configurations make them hard to use on other boards unless you are OK with a mis-match.

How the hell or why did you become a DEMO-crat?” He asked.
“Long story, but it started with Nixon, then I was educated and know history as the Republicans are all about getting power to exploit it to their benefit, while Democratic politicians, for the most part, are for distributing things more equitably. I’ll finish with the overwhelming sociological and psychological evidence in studies that identify that conservatives see the world through inherent inequity where the elite or those who seek to be elite are superior to the commoners, and it is they who should lead. At the same time, liberals look at the world as inequality and seek to make the world more equitable, and that all should be represented. Ultimately, conservatives trust those in authority, while liberals inherently distrust those in authority to take advantage for themselves or their constituency.”
He looks up and says, “No one ever explained that to me, and then asks, “If **** Cheney thinks that Trump is that bad, then it's not about DEMO-crats vs Republicans, is it.”
I resume walking and then say, “Hey, you got it; it's the Democratic and old Republican parties versus Trumpism, which is American fascism aided by the Russians.”
