They would probably be better off snatching a keyboard from an old computer. 
It would also be cheaper to find some of the vintage types on eBay. See, for 
example:

I remember that 12-15 years ago, whenever a button on my keyboard 'died', I 
pressed ALT and the right combination of keys on the num-pad.
