If there is, I think I remember them being fairly cost prohibitive.  ~$200 I think is what rip said one time.

They're just keycaps... Signature Plastics makes alps compatible stems.  The offial Geek Hack key group buys used to include alps compatible versions (at the same price) back when ALPS boards were the thing.

The issue isn't availability, its critical mass.  If you can get enough people for a group buy, then you can get whatever you want.  But, no, there aren't any existing stock pils of ALPS keys to choose from that aren't vintage (that I know of).  Good luck finding ANSI layout, too.

I have an Apple Extended Keyboard II that has not been cleaned or tested.

Those keys are not bad, but you would not get the exact set that fits a standard keyboard. Make me an offer and I might harvest them and toss out the board.

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.
