I'm potentially interested in both the AEK and the Chicony.

Can you share anything about your personal history with the AEK? Do you know if it has been retrobrighted? Looks like it has very minimal yellowing so I'm wondering how it got that way, or if it just stayed that way through limited light exposure. And the switch condition? You said it is excellent but I would enjoy some elaboration, any info you have about work done on the switches, if any, etc.

I'm in northern California.

I bought the AEK as is, I haven't done any retrobrighting to the board in any way. I haven't had any work done on the switches but I have opened some and I cant see any visible dust inside the switches. the only thing that indicated any work done prior to me buying a board is that the 0 key has scratches from trying to disassemble with a tweezer possibly (image provided).

Other than that, the switches seem smooth (from my experience trying alps switches) and are in good shape mechanically other than the cosmetic damage shown. If you would like to discuss more about it and possibly shoot an offer, send over a PM, I'd me more than happy to discuss in detail
