In fact my recently acquired RS Model One with Level 2 basic has the problem big time. As I recall some tuner cleaner or alcohol rubbed on the contacts underneath the key tops will resolve the problem for awhile.. I remember I had around $1,300 in this machine and still didn't have a floppy drive.. I never did purchase the expansion accessories for the unit. In 1980 I moved into a Commodore Pet with a single IEEE Floppy drive, this was like heaven, A nice clear green 9 inch monochrome monitor, no more cassette tapes, 32K RAM, what more could a person want.. Well OK, add a Printer another $700.00, and a 300 baud modem $200.00.. And at about $2600.00 I had a dream machine.. Phil...
