Perfect! Thank you very much.
I always forget about using a scanner for things like this. It works
remarkably well, and even has a reasonable sharpness out to a couple of
inches. My scanner spends most of it's time in the closet, since I
don't really have the desk space to leave it out. One of the few
downsides to living on a boat is lack of space.

space.

I need a good
picture of a Televideo 950 keyboard and a DEC VT-100
keyboard. I checked around for the 950, any of the few I can find
the keys are not readable.
The 950, well, I don't have that. But I have two tvi925 keyboards, and
back when I worked with both, I never could tell them apart without
checking the label in the upper right corner, so the key layout is very
similar (identical, I think).
The keyboard is slightly too large to fit my scanner. So I scanned it
twice, with much overlap between the images. The resulting scans were
rather dark, so I stretched the contrast; the results are up for ftp in
the directory ftp.rodents.montreal.qc.ca:/mouse/misc/ under the names
tvi925kbd.pgm.1 and tvi925kbd.pgm.2 for PGM files; change pgm to jpg
for jpeg versions. For size reference, those scans are 75 pixels to
the inch. Not perfect, but certainly good enough to extract a keybaord
layout from.
The VT-100 I can't help with.
