[rescue] What would you pay for a Type 5 keyboard?

[Lionel Peterson]

While flipping thru my pile of Sun stuff I came across a very clean Type 5
keyboard/mouse (w/ ball, not optical)/foam mousepad/power cord (country kit)
from a sun reseller (the box included a yellow rubber duck, but their name
eludes me).

I also have a small pile of random keyboards, but I can't lay hands on them
for a month. The small pile far exceeds my anticipated needs, I'll offer up my
easily shipped keyboard stock in July.

plastic sheets with the capacitive dots and wiring embedded as "printed"
within. Pretty rugged, compared, but if you spill eg: coffee into the
keyboard, and it gets in between the two sheets, the keyboard stops working
properly at all until fully cleaned, which involves complete total disassbly,
washing the sheets and case. IIRC, there's 38 screws involved. And yes, the
reason I know about the internals is that I've had to do exactly that several
times thanks to clumsy colleagues.
