Yes...agreed. I wasn't planning on painting it for all the reasons you mentioned.

Yeah...In my opinion you did great!!!!
Agree. Unless you point it out, or use the keyboard for any time, you'll probably never notice.

Yes, perfect.
It's actually the F9 key I need, but it looks like you don't have that from looking at your photos, thats why I said the F8.
Thank you!

ok, maybe I'm just remembering wrong. It's unlike me not to keep everything together, which also makes me question my memory. Cheers

Hi, Yes, the keycap is long gone unfortunately, but I have an old apple II keyboard that I have been using for parts (see the '.' keycap on the number pad, and also I have used a lot of keyswitches too) that has identical shaped keycaps which I could use. Obviously the colour would be wrong, but if ...

Hi all, A friend and I have been repairing an old Apple III. He did the electronics, while I tidied up the bodywork. We're In New Zealand and Apple III systems are very rare here, and although the system was a disaster, we decided to restore it. It took some time. Here are some before photos: image0...

Quick question. Did you keyboard have a clear mylar sheet between the metal plate the the PCB. I've seen some videos where they do and some where they don't. I could have sworn mine did, but I can't find it! As the keyboard has been apart for some time now, I've either put it somewhere "safe" and fo...

Oh Yeah!!! The Caps Lock key will work...good idea.
Once you have an idea of shipping cost, please fire through a PM.
Again...much appreciated

Oh wow...look at you. Thank you very much. That's brilliant! Regarding the metal back plate. I do have one, but it was very rusted up and I have sanded it back and painted it to prevent further spread of the oxidisation (see photo). I'm sure it'll be fine for reassembly, but if you could include the...

The other side of the world!
I wonder how much shipping would be? One thing in our favour is the package would be relatively thin and light, but you would certainly want it to be stiff. The last thing you'd want it it to be folded in half in transit!

HI Muirium, Much thanks for the reply. My keyboard is presently in bits and I've been testing just the pcb (and the controller of course) seperate from any other components. As far as I can tell I have an issue with the SA_CLOSED line, and I am unsure if that line is generated from the 8048 or the S...

Hi all, Have you upgraded your IBM Model F to USB by cutting of the old controller, or happen to have the original controller parts spare (maybe from an old junker keyboard)? I'm looking for the 8048 Microcontroller and a 8273565 Sense Amplifier as I want to get my Model F keyboard working with my o...
