Anyone got any ideas what this is? The description says Filco Tsubasa, but i've tried googling and havent found anything of relevance to this keyboard.

Ask him to give you the product code.  He's a Zero feedback seller so it's a good test if the guy is halfway competent.

Its an FKB-107J. Guy seems decent so I think i'll continue with my original plan of buying it!

ripster, After visiting your youtube links, I must thank you for helping me find one of the most ridiculous songs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAbhJk4YJns) I've heard in a while.
Edit: I've gone as far as setting my cell's ringtone to it.

I have a similar keyboard like that and here are the pics for the keyboard where I replaced some of the keys from another donor keyboard.

Here is the keyboard

That's how the cookie crumbles. If  you wish to bid, better not to post until the Listing ends. Better luck next time, there'll be plenty of opportunities.
