Some days ago I received my KB-6151EA and here are some pictures.
The Keyboard is NIB and look like it was never used.

The box from the outside.

Interesting that on the outside of the box there is a KB-6151A branding.

The keyboard with User's Manual and dustcover.

The keyboard, looks like new and it feels fantastic to type on.

Some shots from the keycaps.

Image
Image

White Alps and ABS keycaps with printed legends.

Image

The keyboard is very heavy because the whole backplate is made out of metal.
Image

Branded as KB-6151EA.
Image

Adjustable keyboard feets.

The User's Manual with information about the switches.

Nice! Do you know how old it is?

There is no visible date of production, maybe inside the keyboard on the pcb, but I don't want to open it. It is older than 19 years because Alps Electric canceled the production of white alp switches in 1996.

Excellent find, hypkx! Seems like an Alps clone switch, or (less likely) maybe unbranded Alps. Nice.

I believe I saw this NTC in the kleinanzeigen a while ago, glad to see you got it hypkx. An NTC new in box is quite a rare find! I own almost the same one in bad shape with blue Alps:
