Having de-yellowed a few of my cases, I now need to give the keys the same treatment.
How to remove them however?
I'm sure keyboards differ, but are there some general tips? For example, for most (apart from spacebars perhaps) is it enough to just secure the key in the jaws of a pair of pliers and pull hard? Or pop it off with a screwdriver from underneath? Is there any particular technique? Once extracted, do most keys just push back on?
The keyboards concerned are:
Atari 130XL
Apple IIe Platinium
EACA Colour Genie
Commodore SX (spacebar only)
I have removed a key from a Apple IIe keyboard and replaced it successfully. From memory I think I just gave it a good pull.
Anyway, any wisdom would be most welcome.
