Anyone had any experience salvaging/modding keyboards like these?

Seems a little smaller than the Aydin Controls behemoth, and this example is pretty grubby, too. What's the consensus on these special-purpose boards, interesting if you could get one for free? :)

I have one of these...vintage MX blacks, thin SP doubleshots. The windowed caps are triple shot.

One of many interesting video editing related keyboards with cherry switches. The one with the red trackball is cooler though.

Ah yes, that one was nice. Similar stuff in the states, probably a lot of Signature Plastics customers.
