Aww, at first glance I thought this was a G81-3007. Looks like rubber domes, though.

Definitely rubber dome. I have one just like it in the garage.

Or can you salvage more thing ?

The Cherry G86 boards are not compatible with aftermarket PCBs.

It looks great, but the guides for the rubberdome caps are molded as part of the upper case, so it would be VERY difficult to re-purpose for use with PCB.

Actually, the older G83 used the same G80/G81 casebody and a seperate piece for the slider palte. If it dosen't have the indentation around the cursor keys it's the old type. Later on they made a new casebody where the slider 'plate' is integrated with the top.
