They seem to be Bulgarian, actually.

Would be good to know what switches they use.

Almost looks like a Cherry stem, but $120 plus shipping is above my budget for random keycap buys.  :-)

Looking into it a bit further, these appear to be Fujitsu switches:

Or maybe not.  Hard to tell looking at various pages of pictures, trying to match one specific piece of plastic to another.  :-)

this keyboard (same seller) has cherry switches (I'm pretty sure). They appear to be an early verison of the M7

This one has the same layout as same WYSE/LINK terminal 'boards, but look out! It's domes

Too bad IBM m2 keycaps aren't compatible: this one has dyesub russion sublegends. Excellent find for someone who has a working M2 (or who likes M2's)

That first one looks like a Mitsumi clone of some sort, not sure if the keycaps are compatible with Cherry or not.

You've definitely found some fascinating vintage boards!

Keycaps of the first one will not be compatible with cherry MX. It looks like those M7 precursors. You can look at a very similar one in that cherry groupshot on DT (picture #3 on the topright between the MY and the M7) but the top piece is a different colour.

Yeah this Bulgarian person had a lot of interesting vintage computing equipment. They had a G80-0531(HAG) go for 1.50EUR a few days back.

That IZOT is not Cherry. Look close there is Cyrillic marking on the switch top (in latin) "IZOT 0125D".
