I just got this tonight so I need to clean it up and take some pics during the weekend but these were recently on eBay and if any of you picked them up (there were two other auctions), I think you did well finding a vintage Micro Switch hall effect keyboard from 1975! If you bought them, chime in here. Note: There are two new auctions for this board on eBay so if you're interested, they are available.
Here are some quick pics of the internals. It needs a good cleaning so I'll put up some better pics later. This board also has a solenoid that's attached to the keyboard outer shell as well. More to come.

Excellent found! I like the small keyboard on that year.
Did you have any idea to converter it to the PC?

I saw one of the earlier listings of these a while back and picked one up (NIB from 1974), will have some pics in the next couple days.

There were quite a few of these on eBay recently. I picked up a dirty one for $15. There are still two nicer ones available.

Micro Switch had a branch in Dörnigheim Germany? I did not know that. Anyway nice catch, if it wasn't for shipping I would get on for sure. Beautiful PCB. Looks like dual magnet hall effect.
