Not sure how good of a deal this might be as I'm not into these, but maybe someone else is.

I've seen these go for >$80 on eBay, so this is probably a really good deal.  The seller lists it as XT, but it's also compatible with ps/2.
Notable Switches I have tried:
black cherry, blue cherry, brown cherry, clear cherry, cherry M84, white alps, black alps, cream alps, Monterey blue alps, Fujitsu Peerless, Gateway2000 rubber dome, Keytronic rubber dome, Model M buckling spring, Model F buckling spring, futaba, black space invader

HAPPY HUNTING

Dang, I'm gonna have to buy one.  I don't know whether I should thank you or curse you for making me drop money on something I so don't need! Here's hoping it's in great condition.
IBM Model M (\'91), IBM M2 (BS), IBM M2 (dome), Fujitsu FKB4700 (peerless), Dell AT101W (black alps), Acer 6311 (phony alps), Focus 5001 (white alps w/ calculator!), IBM Selectric (gen 1)
