I found this eBay auction with a keyboard with an unknown brand.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Unknow ... Sw7wFcWPjo
Any ideas on what this could be? Worth a bid?

When I first saw it I got linear space invader vibes, but looking closer at it I am 99% positive it is foam and foil, probably linear. I can tell due to the very distinct font.

The font, the lock LEDs, and the metal backplate all suggest foam and foil.

Yep! The only way I could tell is the keycap font. I know the early XT space invader boards had a near identical case and backplate, but the font is definitely the giveaway here.

Guys ...
1. Use the
IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread!
2. Use the Wiki!
Key Tronic Model F clone series. Key Tronic foam and foil confirmed.

I really need to spend more time updating the Wiki.
