Thanks, I'll give that a try. I was hoping that the head cleaner would
work its way under the keys and do the job, but I'll have to bite the
bullet and go inside. By the way, what peripherals went with this thing?

What I have done with many commodore keyboards is to open them up (don't
lose the tiny screws) and clean the black rubber on each key with a q-tip
and isopropyl alcohol. I also clean the contacts on the circuit board.
Then put it back together, and it should work. I did this many times with
my original VIC-20 and with various PETs.

I picked up a Commodore Pet for old times sake (it
was the first desktop
computer I ever got my hands on). Unfortunately a couple of keys are not
responding consistantly. I suspect that some goop got spilled on it at
some point (it was a board of education computer originally). I tried
some head cleaner which has worked for me before but not this time.
Anyone with experience with this with advice?
TIA
