Don't know if this is a great find, but it's pretty cool

old keyboard for the Magnavox Videowriter.
it's compact, has an interesting layout, and the keys appear to be full-travel.
Anyone have experience with these things?

If only it is MX... it would be perfect for TA typewriter Cherry keysets. I was thinking about making a custom basically exactly like this. If it was MX it would save me a huge amount of effort.
