The fix is to whack the heck out of every key on the

proper level of violence. Trust me and try it. Late model 800's and the
1200xl had nearly identical keyboard construction. I've 'fixed'
numerous machines using this method with no failures. I think the
reason it works is it 'cleans' the contacts through repetition.
I've noticed the keyboard seems to be getting a bit better as I
use it (a good strong stacatto touch helps too). Still want a 'backup'
though...
