FWIW, before they went to the funky flat keys with
dimples on the side Cromemco also used tubular ACE
keys; AFAIK they were all the same, number XX4306.

To the best of my knowledge, there are only
three keys: the tubular XX2247 which is used on
most -8s and -11s including my 8/es and 11/34,
the one that looks like a filing cabinet key
used on just a few machines (all keyed alike),
and the plastic "key" used on later Vaxen as
well as the 11/24 - albeit in a variety of
colours of plastic.
There's also a XX3651 used on some PDP-11
models.
I have both that and the XX2247 in mint
condition. :)
