From the project

Elwro 800 Junior replica

this PCB is not a replacement for the original keyboard PCB. The intention here was to create a keyboard for the replica, and not for restoration work. Original switches are nearly impossible to find, so there is little point in replicating the original board anyway. that said, the 10-pin connectors match the original pinout, so this PCB can be connected to the original PCB, for example for testing purposes.
