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.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
