Russian keyboard in Russia. In old classroom of 150 years old Siberian building. I'm not joking. This keyboard gifted me very good old man, he was on edge on PC era. Said he even worked with punched cards and tapes. At this moment classroom have some i486 intels, and many socket 478's.

Got a DIN-5 to PS/2 adapter today, tried it, but... Leds are flashing, and keys randomly ticks. Caps was just dusty, absolutely fine. No damage at all. Keyboard have some issues, trying to make it work at this moment. I think membrane is rust damaged. Gonna try to clean it from rust and dust with isopropyl alcohol. How to disassembly membrane from switches correctly?

Why it worth so much? And how many in $? I can't even imagine this.
