old keyboards wanted

I have fond memories of using the SAIL keyboards while I was at CMU.  
They were hooked up to
a number of PDP-11s that had GDP display processors (CMU designed and 
built).  They drove HP
vector displays.  The "cheap" versions of the GDPs had 10-bit X/Y DACs 
(1024x1024) and the
"nice" versions had 12-bit X/Y DACs (4096x4096).

I'm sure that there are some still out there but as someone has already 
mentioned, they are very
rare.

I have just enough keyboards for my Symbolics 3620 (newer style 
keyboard) and 2 3640s (older
Symbolics keyboard).
