Hi
I've seen that type of keyboard before. I'd been looking for
Canon Cat key switches for a friend. It wasn't the Cat though.
I think these are the same as the H89 Heathkit uses. I could
be wrong but it is worth a look. You may not get a matching
text but at least it may give one a key to hit.

on powerup it promptly had conniptions and also needs parts for

What fialed? Isn't this a swticher? If the chopper transistor has failed
(and it did in a couple of VT100s here),, you need to check surrounding
components (particularly low-value resisotrs) too.
