One of our esteemed GH colleagues (I won't mention his handle, as I don't know if he'd want me to) is selling one of these nice Affirmative-branded (Unicomp-made) 122-key PS/2 terminal board:
Unicomp Model M 122 Key Mechanical Keyboard (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unicomp-Model-M-122-Key-Mechanical-Keyboard-/292012106338)

It was made 10 years ago, when Unicomp still cared about print quality. ;?)
The listing says the keys are "a bit yellowed", but I think he may be imagining that; I've never seen Unicomp's PBT keys change color (and these are gray to start with).
$35 + free shipping. You can't beat that price for a real buckling-spring board in good shape. I'd buy it myself, but I've got one.
Affirmative still OEMs these, BTW, and charges $140 for them (http://www.twindata.com/affirmative/1225T.htm).

Yup, this is my listing. :D
If anyone on here wants it, PM me and I can take 10% off the price since that's how much eBay would take from me in fees.
The picture doesn't really show it, but the caps do look a slight bit yellowed to me IRL. It could just be the poor lighting in my room though.
EDIT: Sold to a GH member. :)

LOL... Visions of the typical KB geek's dark, dank computing lair definitely come to mind on that one.
