This is one of the most interesting keyboards I've seen in a while, although I have no idea whether it qualifies as a great find. Some alps and mac fans might like it. Looks practically new.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

It is really a nice looking keyboard and it has a separated numeric pad. Awesome. It should be alps for sure.

Yeah that's an Alps (or Alps alike I don't remember for sure) keyboard. I think the spacebar for the Mac old style 1 mouse button is funny.

These popup once every few months, but this is by far the best looking and looks like NOS. Whoever buys this gets a nice wall decoration (has wallmounting holes below the keyboard :) ) or if he plans to use this, a much better keyboard than the plasticky crap we get now a days mechanical or not.

Clarifying that plasticky keyword, the Filco MJ2 I have comes nowhere in comparison to the AEK2 in rigidity even though I still love and use the filco.
Model M, Filco Tenkeyless White, Few others, few more others, Noise-hater (ongoing project), blah-blah (to be fillled later...)
