Link. (http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-5640987-3178-C2-0-Keyboard-ASM_W0QQitemZ200256086957QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2ea03163ad&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A1|66%3A2|39%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50)

IBM 3178 terminal keyboard. Would be good for modding - i'd get one myself but I can't afford the shipping atm.

They use Model F-style capactive buckling springs. There's a pic of the guts of one on Sandy's page.

*bump*

They lowered the price on these, you could probably get one for $20-25 if you made an offer.

That looks like an IBM Model C2 Typewriter keyboard.

That's because it is a Mod C2 keyboard... Did you read the title of the thread?

Unless you're saying that IBM made a standalone typewriter that used a similar design?
