Luxor is an old Swedish brand, and a sticker on the case reads "Defense department's computer center".
A massive keyboard with a thick metal case and a wrist rest made of wood.
The owner of this beast, sadolf, originally posted his find on r/mk about three weeks ago and he got back to me recently with some photos.
In the original post he wrote:
It's HEAVY, at least two kilos. All metal, even the keycaps, which are unpullable. Gonna have to perform some surgery when i get home, to get at the innards – sadolf.
As you will see, the owner managed to disassemble the board and pull off the caps eventually.
The PCB was manufactured by Key Tronic, and the caps are doubleshot – according to sadolf, with a "metallic lacquer-paint" coating.
Based on the stem and the PCB, the switches look foam and foil, similar to my 1981 Kontron PSI 80 – another Key Tronic PCB.
