Orig. ADB Apple Desktop Keyboard now @ 16 bucks

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-IIgs-Macintosh-658-4081-Compact-ADB-Keyboard-Good-condition-NR-/120964059548?pt=US_Vintage_Computing_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c2a05119c#ht_500wt_1271


These are among my favorite Apple ADB KBDs. While the layout's not perfect, it's SUPER compact, it's got those killer "island" keycaps, a truly forward-looking, modern, minimalist design (which apple wouldn't try again for another 20 years), and a choice of orange or pink complicated tactile ALPS.


Also, This one's made in Japan, and for one reason or another Japan-made Apple keyboards sell for waaaay more than their Made in USA or Made in Malaysia brethren... if anyone knows why this happens, feel free to chime in
keyboards!

I will likely be bidding on this. Thanks for the post!
Risen from the dead for a model F.

Wyse buy colors were GSY for the dark grey, GBA for the light grey, and BBI for the fonts.
