Where can I buy such a keyboard - I suppose I can't go to 
"VOBIS" and say "Hey guys I need a type 5 keyboard" ;-)))

LOL - suppose have to buy it from SUN directly, do I?

Sun keyboard cables are straight-through 8-pin mini-DIN.  If you can find
straight through Macintosh serial cables that connect all pins (they're
frequently labeled as "switchbox" cables) then they will work fine.

Your keyboard may also be dying.  These are very cheap used, it may be
useful to pick up a spare.
