I have a very ancient iMac A1207 (20-inch Late 2006) sitting in a cupboard gathering dust. It has a missing keyboard and mouse. I would like to access it to recover some lost photos and to clean down the drive before getting rid of it. Can anyone recommend a keyboard and mouse that would be compatible with this system? I've looked to see if I can buy a second hand Apple accessory but they are difficult to locate and are more often, expensive. Thank you.
As mentioned ANY USB keyboard will work. You can find them many places such as your local office supply, if you have a PC at the home borrow that or buy from Ebay or Amazon or the vendor of your choice.
PC keyboards are almost the same but some keys are different, to navigate research some articles for example

Any usb keyboard and mouse will be fine.
Really? Does it have to be Apple or can I use any old make?
I do have a newer I Mac but the A1207 doesn't recognise the keyboard or mouse which are not USB.
Thanks (sorry, I'm not very technical!)
