That comes with the name 'Apple'

Outside of the AEK line old Apple boards aren't the greatest, but they are about the best source of Orange and Salmon Alps out there!

You just have to be really careful about these old look-alike birds that are not Alps switches.

A Local thrift shop had an 'Apple Macintosh 2' with orange alps (was missing a cap) for $25 total. Unfortunately, I don't have a car right now, so I'd have to try and get them to sell me just the keyboard.  Is that worth it, maybe I could get if for $10?

Orange Alps boards go on eBay for $25-50 shipped, so yeah it's probably a good deal, especially if the switches have held up and aren't scratchy.

If they're scratchy (sadly the fate of most Salmons) it takes a good bit of elbow grease to get them back to working order.

I have an Apple Standard in the mail. I got it for the switches so I can do a swap on my V60 MTS-Q, so hopefully they end up being in decent condition!
