I paid $70 for a NIB set once so $90 for a converted Model M with APL keys seems like a great deal. Uncommon, but not super rare they don't seem to come up for sale too often.
F122 with OG APL set.

Welp...all of the APL keyboards are gone.
They used to sell a set with orange legends but the quality was really poor and now they sell a set with blue legends instead.

The german scrap king has today what looks like a beam spring with blue housings (???)
https://www.ebay.de/itm/Vintage-Keybord ... SwlyVd5O3i
I don't remember ever seeing beam spring switches like those.
Condition is less than ideal though.

I've seen these, it's a later foam and foil ref of the Sperry/Unisys terminal keyboard. The FTnn or FTnnn sticker on the back is something I see on many foam and foil boards.
