I helped a guy at work clean out a few of his 6 barns recently and he let me have two mechanical keyboards that I found in one of them (there were others)
I was trying to find the value of this first one but now I'm just intrigued with the keyboard and want to clean it up and try to use it. Anyways, after taking it apart I see its a Hi-Tek 725 series that is not listed on the page that is here.
----
Mine is a Hi-Tek 112136 according to the inner shell.
The switches are white but I have only taken off a few because I dont want to break anything and they have springs that just pop out.
The circuit board itself says:
NME Hi-Tek Corporation Series 725
A/W 112550 Rev A
294VO 8539
----
And if I'm reading the date code correctly its: June 5, 1986
Found a Hi-Tek 725 that's unlisted here
