I've never seen the green and blue enter keys before, are those common on Industrial boards?
Cool keyboard though. I imagine this will go for a lot.

I want an industrial 101 so much :'(

Oh, I have plenty. Could even trade them for other interesting keys for buckling springs.
:eek:
Just probably his own homemade dyesubs.
That said, Unicomp sells these.

Coloured Model M caps are fairly rare, and to my knowledge, this is the only on with coloured enter keys. Usually it's Ctrl/Alt/Shift that gets coloured Blue/Red/Green respectively for old wordperfect overlays.

Unicomp sells printed caps in many colors. Just go into the parts area, then buttons. You can only get them with standard legend, but if you want some blue keys, they've got you covered.

The fact that dying is easy also means that if some organization puts in a mass order with unicomp and tells them to dye some keycaps, unicomp can easily do it. It's not a collectible thing.
I have colored ones all over my board. If originally new, most of my dyed keycaps look exactly like original Unicomp ones bought new and can't really be distinguished.
I would advise everybody not to get distracted by the keycap colors. If you want the keyboard, bid on it because it's a rare Industrial that looks in very good shape.

I thought he just got some from unicomp. That said, IBM did make coloured keys (green and yellow blanks) for several terminal keyboards.
