Would certainly suck to ship that.. I bet it weighs as much as a small cow...

Looks pretty rad though once you clean her up a bit!

It's 13lbs.

Soarer, you know if your keyboard converter doesn't work I'm going to want my money back right?  :-)

In all seriousness, the keys are mechanical but not a kind I recognize.

The keycaps are pretty :-)

What switches? I assume the trackball would be cool if the connector/protocol were usable.

In other words: It's awesome! I'd easily pay the $1 just for the privilege of taking it apart.

Any keyboard that makes a Model F-122 look wimpy and lightweight has got to be bad-ass for sure.

I know that we would all love to see the insides of the thing. Great keys in any case.

You have the beginnings of a monumental retro rig.

It's a keyboard for an ultrasound machine.

Those are rotary encoders and a trackball on the right...

Looking for ideas :-)

Would make a, mean video editing rig.
