Hi Ray,
Ah, so you wrote that repair stuff at lisafaq.sunder.net . A very
useful site which I have refered to often during this Lisa restoration.
I opened the keyboard tonight following the instructions in the FAQ.
It was the mylar disks and the pads allright. Note this photo.

The silver disk you see is the working number 4 key. The only key
apart from the caps lock whose mylar disk was still silvered. The
foam wasn't in good shape either as can be seen from this photo.

that's indeed the cause. Looks like it's not too hard to fix,
althoughfiddly.
Wow, I've not seen too many Lisa keyboards, but none whose mylar was
that damaged. Well, let us know how the repair went.
