SA TI914
Hey SA lovers,
This keyset is inspired by the Texas Instruments 914 keyboard. While browsing Deskthority looking at vintage boards, I stumbled upon this absolute gem.
Unfortunately, I find little information available about it, which makes it feel even more special to me (If you know more about this keyboard, please share :)).
You can check out more photos of the original keyboard here (https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?t=11114).

Big fan of SA. The inspiration board looks like the alphas are almost white. I think they just look gray from the lighting. Because I already have quite a few SA sets with a gray similar to this, I would be more interested in a lighter shade like GVA, if not just white WFG, WGE
something to make it look like an aged white, not gray

Based on the photos of the original, I bet Signature Plastics was the keycap manufacturer. Although the switches aren't MX, it looks like uniform-profile R3 SA. If so, they might have the tooling for original-legend function keys.
