Pretty nice find.  Wonder if it has salmon or orange ALPs.  Both are awesome.

Yawn.  I would be more excited if it was the Apple IIGS board.  But the condition of this is A-mazing!

Sorry, my post was kind of rude.  I will be interested to see what this thing sells for.

Wow. This makes the one I turned up look like something that had been rotting in the bottom of a dumpster for years! I'll bet watching this auction with great curiosity.

Apple keyboards of this vintage do not age well, cosmetically at least.

Yellowing supposedly happens from UV exposure, but I doubt that many keyboards see much sunlight.

What?  You don't leave your board out to catch some rays on a regular basis?  It's essential for their health.
