Wow, is that some unique form of yellowing (not yellow), or are these original keys?  :p

Wow, looks like that keyboard was made with 10 times the amount of bromine in the plastic as other keyboards of its day,  AND it was left in direct sunlight for years.

I'm sure Mandolin would offer it as a unique Global Warming UV-light seasoned keyboard. BIN at $1,500.00!
