Here's a neat Alps keyboard I got a while ago. Other than the rust, seems to be in good condition. Green Alps feel nice.

Nice! Reminds me a of Commodore keyboards, such as the C64-C, C128-D and Amiga 2000/500.
It is a Tenkeyless with that inverse-T cursor keys and the almost-IBM nav cluster.
Are there diodes on the PCB or just lots of jumpers?
Would you ever consider putting a Raspberry Pi or other tiny computer into that enclosure?

Hmm, I"m actually not sure about the diodes. My first guess would be, no, it doesn't have diodes. But it might.
As for a tiny computer. Yeah it would probably fit. Might do it after my todo list clears up a bit

Do those BRK and RESET keys have stiffer switches?
Also, what color plastic on the switchplates? Are these the very early black ones, or the typical (for green Alps) gray kind?
Are there any older keyboards with the HHKB-style backspace backslash backtick? I think this is the earliest one I’ve seen like that.
