I am not talking about hypotheticals or museums, I am talking about actual running systems. I know the most active restorer of Symbolics systems in the US. His biggest problem is finding enough consoles and keyboards.

Why don't you try to actually build a reproduction Symbolics keyboard (I did), and see how much time and money it is going to cost you.

Perhaps you could connect OP to your friend and see if they would be willing to make a trade!
