I believe that Holloway Computer Products in Staffordshire, UK, used
to sell LK4xx keyboards which I believe were sourced from Cherry
(website was www.lk4xxkeyboards.com but is no longer active, and
although there used to be a phone number on that website, I can't
quickly find any trace of it).
The owner, Derek Holloway, looks likely to be the gentleman below
although Holloway Computer Products isn't quite mentioned by name:

(profile visible even if, like me, you're not a LinkedIn member).
I don't suppose it would be a huge surprise if the overheads of buying
and reselling lk4xx keyboards exceeded the revenue...
A couple of folks round here may know how to get in touch with him,
assuming he's still around. Or use the magic of LinkedIn...
