IBM 5251 keyboard

[Andrew Lynch]

Hi,

I recently purchased an old keyboard looking to reuse
the parts for another project.  I did a little
research into exactly what I bought since no one
seemed to know.  It turns out it is a keyboard for an
old IBM 5251 terminal from approximately 1977.  Here
are some photos:

Now, I don't really care too much about IBM mainframe
terminals or whatever this thing is but as I *do* care
about vintage computers.  I know how hard it can be to
get parts sometimes so before I tear this keyboard up
and recycle it into something else, is anyone looking
for one of these keyboards?  Are they common?  Are
they rare?  It is IBM part 7361073.

All I want it for is the case, the mechanical switch
keyboard, and the cabling.  I was planning on tossing
the small controller inside into the trash but I
thought I would ask the CCTALK list to see if anyone
cares before I rip this keyboard up for my latest
project.

Anyone?  Please speak up now if you are interested.

Thanks!
