IBM Se-Jin Keycat apple Accessories Vtg Machine 1980s 90s Keyboard Electronics (https://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-Se-Jin-Keycat-apple-Accessories-Vtg-Machine-1980s-90s-Keyboard-Electronics/263971741708)

$69.99 + shipping, OBO (though I wouldn't wait for an offer to be accepted, personally).
It's pretty dirty, and it comes with two crappy keebs you'd probably want to tell the seller not to bother sending. Otherwise, the Accodata Keycat (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Accodata_Keycat) should have the vaunted Alps SKCM Blues (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKCM_Blue) at a bargain price!

Someone please hurry up and buy this, because if I stare at it long enough, I'll buy it, and my wife's already mad enough at me for several un-keeb-related things. Life can be complicated, can't it? Uh-oh, I said "complicated", like complicated Blue Alps! Aaugh—you can't win.

I convinced someone to do it lol, couldn't afford it myself but it will have a good home now.

I really thought about picking this up. The switches could be dirty, also it is possible it might have complicated white Alps! Got too many of the whites and not enough blues.

Wha....?? Gee, sorry about that. As you can see on Deskthority's Accodata Keycat page (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Accodata_Keycat), till now these have been seen only with Alps Blues:

The labeling and FCC number are identical, too:

Well, guess I'd better add this possibility to the article. And sorry again for steering you wrong. :?(
Even when there is a good reason to suspect a board has less desirable switches, one can often get the seller to remove a key and take a photo. With something this promising, though, I don't think there would've been time. Oh well!
-
If your (unfortunate) buyer will post a photo of the switches here, I can add it to DT's Keycat page when I amend it.

Dang, I am surprised this had dome with sliders. I was suspicious as the logo by the trackball was different than other known examples with blue Alps.I assumed at least white Alps which is my luck most of the time.

So these were made with white Alps too?? Or are you referring to other, similar boards?

The keycat plot thickens (not to be confused with the catdog plot). :D
