Northgate Sighting on Grimm S01E03

Ahh, the smell of a Vintage Northgate.

Looks like a post-1992 era Ultra T w/inverted T arrow cluster.  1993ish and later have the trapdoor at top left which exposes dip switches.  The earlier ones had 8 dipswitches on the back edge.  Red Esc keys were never on them to my knowledge so it's safe to assume a modern keyboard geek was involved.

Hmm, that looks like that special OEM rebranded version with the nice blue doubleshot function key caps. Don't recall if they sold under the Northgate branding or not. Better ask the studio for more pics!

First Animated GIF I've made since the 90's... Not the best resolution so if anyone wants to improve it or play around with it, I got it from this clip:This Keyboard Smells Mechanical
