My Amiga 1000 keyboard has had a wierd rattle ever since I got it.
It's been getting flakey lately, and prying the phone jack contacts
to make better contact with the connector didn't seem to help.
I took it apart, and what did I find ?
One of the small screws holding the tinplate shield was 90% unscrewed.
And a marijuana seed.
Ahem.
I thought the keyboards were made in Taiwan, not Los Gatos.

I betcha within 12 months somebody'll offer an MSDOS emulation for that there seed. It'll probably be mentholated tobacco.
