Northgate Keyboards

Anyone have any experience with them?  I called the guy and he seemed friendly, and was certainly knowledgable.  I have been looking to buy a Northgate in good condition for a while,  But have not been willing to pay the high eBay prices.

I think you will have to pay a fair price, or be patient.

Your guy paid me about $40-50 a year ago for a very nice Omnikey (white Alps) with 3 bad keys, so it is probably fair to assume that the "going rate" for a clean one will be at least half again that much.

Having said that, they are very nice boards, you should try one if you have the desk space.
“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
