My C64 is developing an increasingly annoying habit of double striking when I hit a key. A few of the keys are more apt to do this than others but all have committed this offense at one time or another. Has anyone had any experience with this problem? I would appreciate any hints or suggestions. Thanks.

I found that it was caused by dirty contacts. You can pick up a can of solvent at any Radio Shack that you can shoot into the keys to clean them up. It should take care of any problems.
