I picked up a 2nd 2648A in Boise, ID and the capstans look intact on
this one (looking into the case from the tape slot). This gives me
one crappy unit for spares and one good condition unit for play :-).
Now what's a good way to clean the stateful switches on the top of the
keyboard? One of the keyboards has switches that don't release
without a little manual assistance. I figure gunk has gotten into the
switch mechanism over time. I'm *not* going to put this guy through
the dishwasher, I'm too scared of what might happen ;-).
Also, some people were saying that they had a keyboard "without the
tape controls on top", but everything I can see in the 2648A manuals
shows that all the keyboards have the tape controls, but your keyboard
might not have the key overlay. Can someone show me a picture of the
keyboard *without* the tape controls for comparison and get a part
number off it?
