I shared this with Ivan, but didn't get a response, so I'm sharing it here. It's an old Cherry G80 board made for NCR. You'll probably have to crack it open to get the model number since it doesn't look like any I know or saw glancing through the DT wiki. It has MX Blacks and the caps look like dyesubs, but I've been known to be wrong.

Hopefully whoever gets it doesn't buy it to scavenge since it's an unusual piece of history. You wouldn't be able to fill out Alphas or Mods with the caps and a Wyse board is a better proposition for switches, so it's really more worth it for someone interested in cool historical pieces.

Dammit I was gonna snipe that board.

I'm pretty sure I have one of these, though mine doesn't have the labels on the back. Mine's a G80-0427, which I'm fairly certain can be found on Taobao and similar Chinese auction sites for ok prices last I checked (granted, was a long, long time ago).
If anyone has questions about it I can pop mine open.

Just seen that it has been posted here also (I posted it on DT some hours ago since there was still no bid on the board).
That would be nice if the winner of this one, or you ebacho, could take some pictures and put that on DT wiki. :)

I got this one, and I just received it yesterday. The model number is G80-0577/08. The keyboard is very clean and looks like new to except few minor marks on the case and the wire. Keycaps have grey legend instead of black.
