Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

Great deal relative to the gold badge omnikey 102, which was advertised at $99 in PC Magazine 1989.

Nice, thanks for sharing that! Those are the two Omnikey models that don't have a metal baseplate. Both of those are fairly uncommon, at least partly because they came just before the transition from Gen2 to Gen3. Most of the oddball Northgate keyboards come from the Gen2 period since they were making lots of changes. I never realized until now that the 101N had F13-F14-F15 keys and that F13 doubled as comma/period lock. Fun to see.
