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.

“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48
