I am quite surprised that a scouring of this forum yielded no information :o
I saw the video after listening to keyboards on Youtube and am enticed by it's sound and vintage appearance, and as my forth coming Model M (scored a NOS 1391401 94' Blue for 35 shipped on craigslist ^_^) will be most likely unsuitable for night time use (thin walls and easily woken room mates), I figure having a quiet yet satisfying-to-type-on keyboard will good thing to invest in.
Any who, if anyone has information on this board i would very much appreciate it (if you have hands-on experience you might even win a prize!).

Check out Sandy55's page here. (http://sandy55.fc2web.com/keyboard/keyboard.html)
There were a lot of obscure Alps boards made in the 80s, alot of them wouldnt be documented around here.

I have one of those. Green linear Alps switches -- nothing to get excited about.

Ah I see.
Well to be honest since i have been playing with my model M I do not think noise will be a problem as it is not as loud as I presumed (and therefore a second board is not needed at this time). Heh, I think the rubber-dome switch keyboard I was using before this one was just as loud (maybe even a tiny louder).

I've seen those old Zeniths around time to time on Ebay. Their layout reminds me of the XT Model F.
