I know I have seen this keyboard on the forums before. What is it though? I don't have any other information besides that picture, sorry. I think it is also an AT interface.

If you live in AZ you can try my keyboards. I usually keep plenty of different ALPS and MX and buckling springs.

Looks like a Chicony, KB-5181 or similar.

Any pics of the switches?

EDIT:
WAAAIIIIT!

That curved deck means its not a Chicony. Mine's flat with an angled top.

I don't have any pics of switches, I know I have seen it around here before though. Someone local offered me this and a model m. I have yet to ask on pricing.

Edit: I just asked on pricing and for any information he has on this one.

Well, I'll be damned. I have one of those but have dyed so many keys that I didn't even recognize it!
I think its slightly older than mine.

The model M is a 42H1292 and they seller told me to make him a fair offer. How much should I offer? I was thinking $20 or $25.

Maybe $30. See if he counters or just says 'okay'.

I can get one for a very cheap price, but after reading the articles you linked I'm not sure I want one of them.

I offered the guy $20 for the 42h and he said ok. How big is the difference in built quality from an earlier model m?

Not much. The steel backplate is thinner but that's about it.
