Just wanted to point out that the switches in these:

"SHARP MZ-1K04, Unknown oval alps switch, German layout caps "

are Alps SKFL.

Ah, so that's what those are called! I have a loose SKFL switch in my sample box. Looks nice with metal on top, but no idea how it compares to classic Alps feel in a keyboard.

Very old KBD 078A Apple Keyboard, doubleshot caps

I believe that the Apple icons look so weird because this is from some IIe clone. Very similar to http://museo.dagomari.prato.it/singolo.php?cod=64&ord=1. In fact, since the umlauts seem to be rubbing off, it might be identical, but with those printed afterwards for the German language markets.

The next one looks to be a regular IIe keyboard.

And the one four more down is from the older Apple II, in some of which the power light and its stand are keycap shaped and in others the top is squared off, perhaps to make it less like one. Later ones still, like one finds on eBay, have copper cladding on the sides, for RFI compliance, I think.

tentator · 14 Sep 2019, 09:29

Wow! Thanks for the detailed explanation! Will update my post. I sourced them in Switzerland but I remember to have seen identical ones in Italy as well.. But look at the yellowing.. But I got quite some expertise in retr0bright in case..

tentator · 22 Sep 2019, 23:41

UP!
(price updates, sold ones and the meetup today was really great: perfect organization and lots of cool people and keebs around!)

Spoiler:
