I picked up the recommended materials and disk cutter and it works like a
charm. I did find that an arbor press works far better than whacking it
with a hammer :-). Because of the foam, the punch tends to bounce when
struck.

Those caps lock assemblies are evil. There are two Lisa keyboards of
mine that sprayed small parts that disappeared while cleaning them.
Its possible to glue the pin in place, if there was a spring I never
saw it. I could barely find the pin. The Corvus kb doesn't have hardware lock.
Ah, ok. So no big deal. They must have simply left the little pin out on
these. Still cannot get over that all the foam is intact.
