Hi all --
I've acquired an HP 85B computer in good working condition except for
two missing keycaps. Anyone happen to have spares? I need a "k8/k4"
key and a "comma" (numeric keypad) key.
No, I don;t ahve any spares... But one thing to watch for on this design
of keyboard [1] is that the keycaps become loose and fall off because of
a ceack in the square tubualr key plunger. So you might want to replace
that as well. Most of the time oyu cna still use the old plunger (the key
doesn't stick down or anything), if you are careful about not losing keycaps.
