I recently won this board at auction, bidding for no reason other than looks. It is not delivered yet but I would like to know more about it before it gets here. Any help identifying would rule.

Could definitely be a KeyTronic keyboard given the keycaps, age, and the fact that it was made for an American company. I also couldn't find anything specific. You should definitely follow up when you get the board, it looks interesting.

Yup. The label full of part numbers is reminiscent of Keytronic.

Magnetic reed if you’re lucky.

Foam & foil if you’re not.

Dunno about Amer Sat, though. Could just be service, not production.

Fingers crossed for Reed. Thank you
