AKEATUA307/6-A1128: https://www.ebay.com/itm/192945064152 ($109.99, free shipping, Make Offer is available)
AKEATU654/1-A1219: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202702792927 (ditto)

I recently picked up one of these from the same model family, an Access-IS AKEATUA654/3. It is very well built and decently heavy. I believe the case is plastic, but it feels sturdy. Mine came with Cherry MX Black switches. They're clean, but they definitely predate the re-tooling because they are very scratchy. Thin doubleshot keycaps. I think this is a cool board that just needs better switches, so I'm going to swap mine out with something eventually (haven't decided yet).

Looks like a Dolch computer, but apparently isn't one:

Could very well be the same OEM of the basic parts as Dolch used. Early Dolch keyboards were similar to this one's: with Cherry MX switches and thin pad-printed keycaps.

That's a Unitech K959 keyboard by the looks of it. I had a Walters branded one with MX blues. Nice keyboards but I'm not a fan of any MX so I couldn't get along with it. For the price, that is pretty decent.

Fujitsu N860-2519. The seller claims it has 3rd gen Fujitsu Leaf Spring switches. If I didn't already have a bunch of FLS boards I would've snatched it up

Those lunchbox cases were somewhat generic back in the 286/386/486 days. You could buy them separately and install your own mini-AT form factor motherboard and cards, but many were sold already-built. The early ones had a red plasma display (mono CGA if I remember correctly) while later ones had EGA or VGA compatible LCDs.

Wonderful descriptor used on this listing ("Schlepptop").

No Fine key. What good is an Italian keyboard if it lacks the Fine key?

You are right!. Also mine is half italian & half English. I'd say Italiese, as all of us after all. Maybe at the time of the facts IBM tried to save some money...Mean people if you consider that the introductory price of a 5150 PC started at US$1,565 in early '80s (equivalent to $4,313 of today, less or more).

I have a vague memory of seeing an IBM Model F XT keyboard (back when they weren't new anymore, but when the F AT layout ruled the universe) with Spanish layout and English legends on the mods, too. If I ever find one of those here, I'll throw a DT party, though.

ALSO, boy oh boy do I want the F77 to come out already so I can have a keyboard where ALL non-alphas are icons, with no text legends whatsoever.

Uh... So you are among those who are waiting for the new kishaver? Did you have the chance to try it before placing the order? I am so curious to know how ping is it compared to our old ones.... If we consider that I have two model F AT quite different from each other

Yes. No. Me too. I don't (yet).

2nd Generation PCjr boards, NOS, 30 USD each. They also have RAM cards for PC Convertibles if you want to use one for something other than a source of Brown Alps.

[zrrion]

those just have rubber domes in them, not brown alps

[User101]

He means that you can get some ram cards for the PC convertible from the same seller if you actually cares about the computer
