Well, I got it. It's pretty freaking cool.
MEI WEAB switches. wiki/MEI_T-5_series They are linear.They are not mx compatible lol. Anymore info on them is appreciated. Keycaps are doubleshot and they look really nice...

This thing uses a frickin' key to turn on. It sounds so mechanical it's amazing. Felt more like starting an engine then turning on a computer. Video of me turning it on: https://streamable.com/nysju

The shift key locks down, and lights up when locked. Here's a video of that: https://streamable.com/34dnt

And here's a video of me just pressing some of the keys: https://streamable.com/3iwpe
(sorry for it being rotated)

All in all, very satisfied with my purchase. Awesome piece of vintage equipment for 100$, even if I don't resell it.
Also, here's some interesting links about it: http://www.duncancampbell.org/menu/jour ... mputer.pdf

RONALD REAGAN used this machine to make important political decisions. Can't believe it. Read the first link, really really interesting.

If you do decide to resell it, I may be in the market.
