Work was about to toss out this thick boy with Cherry Clears! – virulentvalor.

I have to agree with one of the commenters that this is an "utterly impractical but glorious" board. But practicality isn't what we love vintage keyboards for…

By the way, this was used to control a scoreboard at a baseball stadium.

Glad we upgraded for the scoreboards sake (and so I can keep this gem)

The photo shot by the original poster does not show this beast in all its beauty. Let me include another picture (from Deskthority) highlighting the wave profile:
