​Funny ... I've got one similar to that sitting next to my desk ... maybe I
should hang on to it! Never thought an old mechanical keyboard would become
a collector's item, seemingly.​

beyond all reason, perhaps.  (And there is much chatter about the
difficulty of obtaining one that is in fully functional condition.)

Meanwhile, as advised, I am in the process of exchanging the Unicomp
keyboards -- hopefully for the correct model.
