White alps, looks very clean from the pictures. Little high but you could make an offer.

Don't see at all, you say? (http://www.ebay.com/itm/PC-ACCESSORIES-Rare-Split-Ergonomic-CLICKY-Keyboard-Clickey-PS-2-White-Alps/301771175438)

If I could deal with a 1u backspace, BAE and white alps it'd be interesting to try.

Yeah, the second one is a steal at $63 shipped.

These should be old school “pine” white Alps switches from the early 1990s, the clicky analog of salmon/cream switches from the same era.

Out of curiosity, is there a stabiliser on that esc key?

IIRC, no and it looks a bit less awkward in person. I have one of these and it actually feels decent to type on.
