Northgates are very well built, but the condition this one is in (stickers on the keys) it's a little much. Sure, you could clean it, but it's seems well-used and for that price, you could probably do better. I'm asking that much for mine, and it's nearly brand new.

Is this worth the money? Shipping to EU is close to $50 rising the cost to $110.

Any way you could try a Northgate before buying to know if you like the feel/sound?  Would be a shame to invest and not like it.  It's clearly used although condition doesn't look too bad from what I can see.  I don't like that fact that the top row of function keys aren't real keys like my Omnikey Ultra (below).

DIP switch settings, IIRC, let you set which set of F-keys to use.
