Hi all,
I am currently working on repairing the keyboard that came with my Macintosh 512k(e).
Four of they keys have broken off, and one of the keyswitches is broken apparently beyond repair. The best fix would be to replace the keyswitch, but I have not found a good source for those yet. ePay had a listing, but $10 for one switch plus $40 something for shipping is just stupid, and is not going to happen.
Do any of you know where I can get those keyswitches? Even better would be a complete keyboard. It is the original Mac keyboard, not the extended one.
I also remember seeing a site which had a how-to on how to fix the keyboard stems with filed down screws, but I forgot where I saw it. Do you know what site I am thinking about?
If you have a keyboard (either complete or for parts) let me know
