Looking for a Xerox 6060 or AT&T keyboard. I have a working Xerox 6060 but the keyboard is not working.

Looks like the connection I need. I have the same connection but only 1 row of pins and it does not work on my 6060.
Hoping to find one that is less costly.

That "one row" is all that's needed for the M24/6060. See the pinout. Does your keyboard show any sign of life?

No signs of life. Does not light up on boot.

You might want to check the keyboard fuse on the motherboard:

Thanks for the info. My fuse is very tiny and soldered in. I checked continuity and it seems to be blown.
Is it ok to bypass it with some kind of jumper?

It might be okay for testing, but at some point you do want to replace it with a regular fuse. Rather than a jumper, you might want to try a low-value resistor, say 47 ohms. That way, if the keyboard voltage regulator or a capacitor is shorted, you have some protection for the PCB traces.
