Wow! Thanks for video!!
How do the springs of this "new old stock" compare to the old IBM SSK that you had before?

They feel pretty close to me because the old one I had was in very good condition when I got it. The NOS one still has that new keyboard smell.

Just wondering, where did you find this keyboard? And how much was it?

This was purchased a few years ago from a seller who had a bunch of them at the time and I just stored it since then. It was not cheap, probably about $175. at that time.
