No kidding! It has been a while. I've pretty
much been lurking
without much to say here since I lost all my toys in the fires two
years ago. Managed to replace a couple Heathkit units since then but
with prices what they are, it'll never be what it was.
I did score a PET 2001-8 that seems complete to include the keyboard
(with keys missing). Been watching EBay for parts boxes but even
those are usually serious money now. I'll keep watching though! I was
hoping someone had already put some effort into 3d printing the keys
as a solution - figured someone here would know about if it was done.
Mike Stein pointed me at a complete set of replacement labels for the
key tops so that's start.
Enjoy! Happy Holidays!

Hi Steve.
(Long time no talk.)
My suggestion to you, as abhorrent as it may seem, is to buy a
complete PET
2001, take your 3 keycaps, and part the rest out. Preferably one
that's in
crap shape. They aren't that uncommon.
