OK, so this is a 1983 AT keyboard? It's definitely an AT keyboard, as it has LEDs.
Anyone know anything more about this? Does the September 1983 date mean that they had geared up for the launch of the AT in 1984?
Definitely needs a lot more photos — rear label, LED arrangement for caps lock (distanced from the switch) and num/scroll lock (directly under the keycap proper) plus the insides of the switches as there is no proof that they're foam and foil, though you can just about make out the capacitor pads on the top of the PCB.
(There's also a tactile, AT-style version of this—[wiki]Key Tronic E03091007[/wiki]—which makes the internal LEDs even more curious)
