Exactly like a Northgate, because that's the company that took over
Northgate's keyboard manufacturing.

My Northgates cost me in the $89-$99 range when I bought them in 1990. I
didn't pay extra for function keys wasting space where junk keyboards
have them up top.

Lowest price around here on new is around $60. Mine were bulk purchase.
The $5 was just the share including shipping allocable to one item.
Locally I'd never find one like I have new or used, much less a bunch of
them pulled from old IBM puters for one low money. Once they've survived
breakin, they need no warranty, particularly at that price.
