Vintage Victor 9000 Personal Computer DOS 3.1 KEY BOARD (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Victor-9000-Personal-Computer-DOS-3-1-KEY-BOARD/282311156737)

Currently $29.44 + 75.85 shipping (ouch) with less than one day to go.

Key Tronic foam-and-foil capacitive switches, and reportedly one of the tallest key profiles ever. This one looks hardly used (if at all), and has the more desirable multi-color layout. Too bad about the high shipping, but it very well may be solid metal and weight quite a bit.

That's really cool looking. It wouldn't be out of place attached to a 1970s terminal.

Here's a page (http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=210) about the system it was packaged with, in case anyone's interested.
