No affiliation though.

Love the form factor of this Model 00 (http://search.ebay.com/110380302025). If only it had an AT or PS/2 connector....

The Epson is a rebranded Fujitsu, according to the FCC ID... suspected that from the looks. Maybe a FKB4700 or somesuch.

The Model 00 appears to be for 3179 and 3192 terminals if my Google skillz don't fail me.

Damn, they're ending about now...

The model 00 boards may be Microswitch?, they are most likely not buckling spring.  Maybe sheet dome like the second generation PCjr or later 5085 / 6150 'boards (see here (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=5662&page=4)).

The P/N 6016732 (http://search.ebay.com/110380317270) (model "__ _"!) and 6016730 (http://search.ebay.com/110380322491) look more likely to be clicky, though they don't seem to have cables...

The part numbers don't show in the announcement letter database, but vendors seem to think they're for the 3290 (can I stop talking about that thing?).  The other suggestion of them being for the 3194 I'm not so sure about, as the initial letter (http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/ShowDoc.jsp?docURL=/common/ssi/rep_ca/9/897/ENUS186-119/index.html&breadCrum=DET001PT022&url=buttonpressed=DET002PT005&specific_index=DET001PEF502&DET015PGL002=DET001PEF011&submit.x=7&submit.y=8&lang=en_GB) for that seems late [June '86, compared with that 6016732 dated 47[th week of]- 1983] and the letter speaks only of 102s and 122s.
