Vintage DELL AT-101 keyboard old logo mechanical black alps TESTED WORKING PS/2 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-DELL-AT-101-keyboard-old-logo-mechanical-black-alps-TESTED-WORKING-PS-2/261716272485)

A little grimy, too, but these don't turn up very often priced this low.

Most of the time people look out for the old logo version because they want the Salmon Alps version, GYIAT101-102. Note that although this GYUM97SK is the Black Alps version, I've found the switches in this to be quite different from those in the AT101W; specifically, they feel and sound considerably superior.

Indeed, these tend to go for MUCH more than this.

The last old-logo AT101 that I bought had bad black Alps and ABS caps.

AFAIK only the Alps-made version has those, right? They're pretty nice caps. You should be able to tell from the FCC ID whether they have these or not :) .

No. Or at least, mine doesn't (thin ABS).
