Title: Northgate Omnikey probably with Blue ALPS

Most gold label Omnikeys seem to have have Blue ALPS. I did, however, recently acquire one that turned out to have white switches. If this one has blue (suggest asking seller to check) then the price is... commensurate... at least, with recent trends.

I didn't know the 102 Gold Label had models with a one unit spacebar.  Blue ALPS seems to be getting more expensive the way I look at it.  I'm not sure how much the shipping was CONUS, but $129 with best offer is quite a good price. 

Congrats to whoever got it.
