I do know that NMB aquired Hi-Tek but this keyboard has no mention of NMB at all

plus the keys are "stepped" which I cant find any examples of a RT101+ being like that.

What I'm asking is for some help on when this was manufactured and if anyone else has seen this design before (how this is different from most other RT101+). Thanks in advance.

Looks like ADI inductive.

I have a video coming out related to this soon, as it happens. Can I ask what keyboard you found it in?

Seems to be from a vintage computer museum seller.

Most interesting. Judging by the keycaps, one could swear it was a Key Tronic board. Then again, maybe they just bought some MX-mount caps from them.

I've only ever seen these switches before on XMIT's NCR board. Anyway, I've already recorded a video about something related which should be coming out next week :) .

Yeah these look like my NCR board, and, I'd call that magnetic valve, not inductive.

Looks neat, I'm considering buying it to find out...
