Strange Cherry Amiga keyboard on the 'bay

[ChaosLord]

This was an aftermarket keyboard for the A1000.  A couple of guys in Portland, OR had these on the A1000s.

Do u know who made them or sold them?

It really looks like something some guy threw together in his garage using the parts he had on hand.  

What are the advantages of that keyboard over the original A1000 keyboard?

Does it have some keys that are missing on A1000 keyboard?

I gave my A1000 away about 20 years ago so I forgot all about it.

I just find it strange that nowhere else on the keyboard does it have the name "Commodore" or "Amiga".

I find everything about that keyboard to be strange, weird and bizarre.  And I certainly would not pay a high price for one.

For the amount of money he wants I could buy ANY keyboard and hire someone to rip out the cable and install a phone cable in its place and VOILA!  I then have a super custom A1000 keyboard without the ugly looks and strange key placements of that keyboard.

And I can even get real "Amiga Keys" from WASDkeyboards.com  I already have a set sitting here that I bought myself for xmas.

Luckily for me, I can use any PS/2 keyboard of my choice on any of my Amigas (1200, 2000, 3000) so I don't need any bizzaro keyboards.
