Title: Northgate Keyboards

Anyone have any experience with them?  I called the guy and he seemed friendly, and was certainly knowledgable.  I have been looking to buy a Northgate in good condition for a while,  But have not been willing to pay the high eBay prices.

I think you will have to pay a fair price, or be patient.

Your guy paid me about $40-50 a year ago for a very nice Omnikey (white Alps) with 3 bad keys, so it is probably fair to assume that the "going rate" for a clean one will be at least half again that much.

Having said that, they are very nice boards, you should try one if you have the desk space.
