MAC ATTACK

Unfortunatly I'm in need of spares at the moment my self, I guess it's time for another Goodwill run, so I can't help you there. I've got a pair of Pluses that I'm maintaining until cousins twin girls are older (they got the computers when they were a year and a half). When getting the above mentioned computers running I discovered that it can be a real pain to find fully functional Mac Plus keyboards. I also discovered that it's handy to have one non-functional keyboard around, that you can pull keys off of, and test to make sure they are good. Then when you need to, you can replace a bad key. This takes a Soldering Iron, but about the only skill you need is not to hit yourself with the Iron :^) I've also repaired one of the fancy ADB keyboards (the ones that sell for $160 new), in its case I had to refurbish the keys themselves. First I unsoldered them, then got them working again and soldered them back on. This is not a fun proceedure, and does require a little skill (but just a little). Zane | Zane H.
