My favourite as well. I have one on my desk here. (It was £17 on eBay a few years ago. The USB converter for it was a lot more expensive than the keyboard.)
There's a problem though. The Type-5 used to be one of the quieter workstation keyboards, and it's far less noisy than a Model M, but the flat keyboards of today are so much quieter than any of those used to be that I can no longer use it in an open plan office without feeling conspicuous. I'm not sure whether it does annoy my colleagues (they are very polite) but I do feel uncomfortable about it and as a consequence it doesn't get as much use as I might like.
