I need return and right shift key tops for a PET 4032. Prefer just the key tops but will accept a keyboard. Don't care of they are worn just need them to securely hold on to the keyboard.

A bit out of my price range. This PET looks like it was dropped from the back of a truck. It works but not really looking to put a lot into it. Just something I'm playing around with.

Unless someone like MikeS has keycaps to offer, I can look in my pile. Since they won't weigh much, shipping will be moderate, either $1.50 or $4.50 depending on whether they weigh more than 20 gram together.

That would be great. I'm already getting annoyed while hitting the nubs that should be return and right shift.

As a matter of fact, I do have a couple of spare 4032 keyboards and one is already missing a key; took it over to Dru's place for his 4032 and ended up bringing the 4032 home instead.
Mind you, it'll probably take as long and cost as much to mail from Toronto as it would from Sweden ;-)
Why not *carefully* move one of the less-used keys over for the time being?
If you like, send me $5.00 and a PM with your address and I'll get them out on Monday. Make sure that the keystems are OK, and I assume you also need the springs?

Actually I have the springs and a black "nub" that the key cap should affix to. Hard to explain without visuals. Sending PM.

Well, there are at least two types of keyboards and of course the one I'm scrapping for keys is the other type and has completely different keyswitches and keystems ;-)
But I compared it to one of the others which are like yours, and fortunately the actual keytops are the same, so they're on the way. Let me know when they get there.
