Hi.
Found this old keyboard at work when throwing away old radio center and wanted to wash it and use it has a daily keyboard.
Is there any straight forward way to know what converters / adapters will work with this keyboard ?

Welcome !
Fantastic keyboard ! May I ask more specifications as to where you'd find it ? I'm asking this because previously we had seen a green version of this jeyboard from a "Marine boat", but this darker colour makes me think it might have been from the land army. Here are some more pictures of the green one :

As for using this keyboard, you can use an AT->PS/2 and then PS/2->USB. You can choose any AT->PS/2 converter, but you may need certain PS/2->USB ones. I've used
