[comp.sys.amiga] Wanted: broken Amiga 1000 keyboard wanted

trudel@caip.rutgers.edu (Jonathan D. Trudel) (07/28/89)

Anyone have an old, broken keyboard for a 1000?  If you don't need it
anymore, I'd be interested in getting it from you.  I'd be willing 
to pay up to $40 for it.

However, if you have such a keyboard, but want to keep it, could I convince
you to sell me a few of the key assemblies?  My 'b' key broke, and I need
the whole thing from the 'b' cover down to the PC board - I really *DON'T*
feel like paying $120 for a whole new keyboard...

Send me email if you are interested, or have info as to where I could find
such things.  Thanks!

Do like I did when my "s" key died on my A1000 keyboard died.  I simply
picked a key that I never use, and that was the "." key on the numeric
keypad.  I ripped it out, and stuck it into the two holes left from
pulling the "s" key out.  All the assemblies are the same, except for
a few of the non standard shaped keys, and they work perfectly.
 
Heck, come to think of it, I could have picked any key assembly on the 
numeric keypad, I never use that part anyway!
