One year ago I was in the "Luftwaffen Museum" in Berlin
http://luftwaffenmuseum.org/
and spotted a mechanicel keyboard mounted in a big console.
The keyboard looks identical to a cherry G80-0662 except some grey keycaps.
Here are some photos and a video of me typing on the keyboard.
I don't pull a cap but you can hear that it is clearly mechanicel.

Probably cherry keycap mount.

The caps look like Cherry's old spherical doubleshots:

Which were meant for low profile M84 switches like these:

So beautiful.

Vintage keys are the best in terms of quality, it is a shame almost none of them are ANSI.

Was that console for military use or just something for visitors to use?

That's old military equipment.

Any guesses on what time period it might be from?

Early eighties, I bet.
