Title: Don't know if this is a great find, but it's pretty cool

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-MAGNAVOX-Videowriter-Model-PF7715-BE-Used-Keyboard-/310869443192?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4861434278



old keyboard for the Magnavox Videowriter.
it's compact, has an interesting layout, and the keys appear to be full-travel.
Anyone have experience with these things?

If only it is MX... it would be perfect for TA typewriter Cherry keysets. I was thinking about making a custom basically exactly like this. If it was MX it would save me a huge amount of effort.
