I decided to take a quick look at eBay (despite knowing that I have not a penny to spend), and happened accross a few interesting items.
First up, what are clearly proper Blue Alps, though in a layout that seems to have been designed by an escaped mental patient, and I sort of doubt that connector will be easy to hook up to a modern PC. Still, the price isn't too bad for Blue Alps. Could be a donor board.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261779693512This next keyboard, which is branded by Pansonic for some reason, has some pretty looking keycaps. They seem like they could be Alps stemmed, but I honestly can't tell for sure. Anyone know anything about this? If those are PBT, I might need to smash open a piggy bank or two. I've been looking for some (non-Apple) Alps PBT keycaps for a while now to no avail.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221689394195This next one is a keyboard branded by Canon. I only list it here because it seems to be exactly identical to the Acer keyboard on which I'm currently typing with the exception of the different branding. This is noteworthy because the keyboard I'm typing is one of a very few keyboards with complicated Blue Alps in a totally standard, rectangular enter key layout. If that keyboard really is the same as mine then it might be very interesting to anyone, well, interested in owning Blue Alps. Then again, it might be different. Might be wise to ask the seller to pop of a key.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321553849617I also found a few Acer 6310 series boards. I've heard that these have PBT caps. Can anyone verify this? if that's the case then I definitely might be interested in buying one of these, though these particular ones seem a bit overpriced.

too expensive. I dunno, maybe there's someone out there interested in owning a keyboard actually branded by Alps themselves.
