I picked up an old SQ-80 a few years ago just to control cs80v.  The 
keyboard was horrible.  New bushings would have help the noise and 
clacking, but the AT was mostly shot. Many keys had no response and 
others had max AT with barely any touch.

Anyone have any recent info on the VAX77 keyboard ( 
http://www.infiniteresponse.com )?  They're website is almost a year out 
of date and last claimed they'd be shipping months ago.
