Atom keycaps

[Gary C]

Not managed to find any source of original Atom keycaps but I did find this


Its not perfect as it is a little browner and slightly more curved but its the best I have found so far

From an Atari 800XL

But if any has any real ones

By the way, its the N key I have replaced

Hi, Im in the same situation and trying to find a keycap for an Acorn Atom rev 4, in my case it's letter C. I ordered a key from a 800XL but it was the wrong one, do you know the exact model of your donor machine?

Frustrating difficult to find this keycap

Regards
Chris

The cap from an atari doesn't actually fit, it just looks very similar

You have to make up an adapter to make it fit

Fingers crossed some actual Atom caps turn up, but this works well in the meantime.

I have a genuine Acorn 'N' key here for you

 

[Gary C]

Wow

Are you willing to sell

I know they are very difficult to obtain so let me know

 

[Moonferret]

I'll drop it off at the museum on Sunday morning as I'm passing by. Also have a spare Sirius 1 floppy controller and motherboard if they are any use to you?

 

[Gary C]

Certainly

What can I do for you ?
