Until know I did not open the board. Maybe if someone is interested I will do it in the next days.

That's a PET 700:

..or Commodore B128. I think they were the last PETs made, European market only. The switches are probably Mitsumi, like the C64.

If those caps fit on Cherry MX switches, I would love to have a set...

If they are like the stems on the Commodore 64, they don't ... but adapters have been made for using them on tlt's MeC64 keyboard. Adapters raise the keys though.

I think its from another model then the PET 700. I own a PET 700 and the caps have a another colour scheme. You see it on the picture mr_a500 posted. And here:

On the CBM-II link mr_a500 posted the pictured 710 has the same color scheme.

And please do open it! And post as much info as possible. Mine 700 is fully working and I am worried I will kill something if I open it. That terminal is the most valuable computer stuff I have...

EDIT: If you in the future is going to sell it I'm very interested! As spare part and keycap replacements ;)
