Identify that movie keyboard

Now whenever I watch a movie I can't help but notice the keyboards. Some are easily identifiable; some have foley that doesn't match; some are unique and strange, maybe a hack job, maybe a fabrication. Here's my first contribution to this thread, from the sickbay wall on Serenity, from Firefly:

My guess is a TKL with some mods an painted keycaps, but maybe some IBM parts (check out that coil cable).

Captain USUALLY reads my posts. I know it's often hard to tell.

Why would I not be reading it? I used to read a lot of good stuff back at the old haunt, before the ghostbusters came in, zapped us into the ether, and started crossing their streams all over the place.

That got me thinking about Wargames. Check out the IMSAI 8080, with it's ENORMOUS keyboard, and the mini-view with Ally Sheedy. http://www.wired.com/entertainment/holl ... ntPage=all
