Looks like the place that has been selling "Prototopre" on occasion is have a grand finale:

UPDATE: After a some checking and it appears these are the rubber dome version with membrane sheets, not the PCB "prototopre" version.

how much is the fair market value for this?

I would try and verify with HaaTa whether or not this was the proto-topre or dome version.


edit: probably the dome version according to HaaTa

Your right...these are the rubber dome version.

Out of an obscure interest in possibly buying this, will it work directly with any modern day PC?

Would you still require a 'Soarer kit' to make it work?
