I believe Honeywell Micro Switch normally has a flat top 3, this one has a rounded 3.

The keycaps look like signature plastics, but that doesn't really narrow down anything, because they had keycaps for nearly every single mount out there.

The bottom 2 rows look kinda like it but a better view of the space bar would be a great help. The font doesn't look like the skcc boards I've seen, but it does not necessarily rule it out.
A pic of the switch would settle the matter.

Is it really an hall effect board, as the seller says, or... is it a beamer? :roll:

It's a hall effect keyboard. The top right key is not stepped, the arrow heads are thin, the 3 has a flat top, and the keys are uniprofile.

My guess is that there is definitely $500 worth of value in there.

An arm full of good keyboards could do it, and a working (or even non-working) Selectric is worth something.

Oh I didn't see that there was a switch photo originally, I figured it was a gamble.

Even to Canada, shipping + duty is $45USD :|

I have bought a KB-5181 with blue Cherries, but most of them are SMK, quite nice.

The Laser is a very nice board, too, but neither of these are really top-tier keyboards.

Are you sure about this having white Alps? This is a very late K104 and three of the four closest in serial number I have listed have blue Monterey (SMK) switches.

I think the latter models are kind of lottery, could be anything.
