What's his story?  Does anyone know?

Feel free to answer yourself sandy if you're around.

You have made countless contributions to this site, and I'm just wondering where you get all these keyboards and information from??

All I know is that Sandy-san has excellent taste in keyboards.  

Out of the hundreds of keyboards and key switches meticulously documented by Sandy, his comments and posts reveal he believes the capacitive IBM PC AT 84-key Model F is the pinnacle of keyboards...for a wide variety of reasons.  

Grasshopper humbly concurs with Master Sandy.  :)

Some say that he was abandoned in a reed basket at the door of the Alps factory as a baby...

That's the thing that gets me is keyboards can survive the years no problem, but he's got all the documentation to go with it!

There is an explanation. The first part being that if you really like something, or literature, you'll find it: I've found lots of old manuscripts that otherwise would be forgotten.
Secondly, go to a library. There's lots of offline sources that have things the internet doesn't. I've come to realize this a long time ago.

You're very right. The Internet is a vast resource of information, but it doesn't have everything.

Wow.  That just brought back memories.  I fondly recall borrowing lps from the children's section as a kid, sorting through card catalog drawers as a teen, a scrap of paper and a bunch of numbers as my only guide through the stacks in three floors worth of books at the Inglewood library- GO Dewey Decimal!!   Come to think of it, I actually still have a current library card...in my wallet even!  oooh!  Poll time!
