Title: SIIG Fun Touch Kid's Keyboard
Post by: the_buff on Tue, 05 July 2011, 11:20:14

So what are the chances that this keyboard is an ALPS board like that dinosaur one that occasionally makes an appearance around here?

I can't find much information on it.

According to this LINK (http://www.thefreelibrary.com/SIIG+ENTERS+THE+KIDS'+MARKET-a016602341) the MSRP in 1995 was $89.99.  The link also mentions that there is a "Cool Touch" floating around that was made for older kids and uses different colors.  

There is currently a "Fun Touch" on eBay US, but it ends in 2 hours.

I was surprised the dinosaur was mechanical, so maybe this would be a surprise too?

Not mine or I would.  Just found it while browsing and wondered if anyone knew.

It says they're Montereys (fake Alps), maybe these are the same...?
