This thing looks pretty nice. If I collected esoterica I would be all over it. Includes cat cover!

How do they work indicator lights into keycaps on buckling springs?
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Yes, looks like Peerless. He removed the whole slider in the picture showing the switch. The plastic lid fits an IBM keyboard.

Thanks for the info. I had never seen one of these.

Time to cry again for the disappearance of the wikis.
