Pulled out the Omnikey to use but I prefer using a buckling spring variant. Probably just needs a good cleaning
and lubrication. Sounds great. Some of the key are scratchy and bind a little from time to time. Hadn't pulled out an old
computer for sometime and felt like it this morning.

Nice, thanks for sharing. The Northgate goes well with the vintage IBM computer and monitor. Before you tear into the keyboard try typing on it a bit. Alps switches like to be exercised. They can become flaky in storage, and often clear up after a day or three of use.

Ok, I will have to run that keyboard for a bit. Thanks
