Re: I could use a hand locating hardware bits and pieces and/or technical documentation for repair.

In other news related to the keyboard, I just impulse bought a Convergent/Bull/Burroughs/Unisys K-1 keyboard which was to be used with the B-25 series of machines.  The look of it was close enough to that of the AT&T systems to catch my attention, and it appears not to be a coincidence.  The plugs (of which there are two) seem like modular 8 pin jobs, and you can see in this thread ( https://deskthority.net/photos-f62/burroughs-b25-k1-ab-t12757.html ) that is made by Cortron, and the model number is even write close to that of the Unix PC keyboard.  Honestly, even the PCB layout looks remarkably similar. 

Now these are rare too, and even if the architecture is more or less similar there's no guarantee that the key codes are similar at all, but I just happened to find one on eBay for 30 USD, and there's not a 3B1 keyboard in sight.  It's worth a shot, and in a worst case, we'll have some information on compatibility and I'll have a keyboard for a B-25 if I ever manage to get one.  In a best case, we learn that these two machines can share keyboards, I'll let everyone know what the pin map looks like, and I can give the other AT&T keyboard back while I try to figure out the protocol. :)
