Title: Leading Edge DC 2214, blue Alps, 101-key ANSI layout
Post by: jacobolus on Sun, 31 August 2014, 03:20:54: I think many (most? all?) of these are white Alps, since they were produced a bit later than the DC-2014/3014 keyboards which used blue Alps switches, but it’s a nice standard 101-key ANSI layout and thick doubleshot keycaps:

True.

An open auction is not a "Great Find" because it is something that will seek its own price.

I think that depends on how popular it is. Blue alps always shoot way up.
