Well, the saga continues. This unit does have the 85
key keyboard and the
Sol-20 power supply so I don't know what to say about the model 10 on the
nameplate.
I took the keyboard apart last night and found both the sponge
disintegrating and the metalized plastic that contacts the keyboard also has
the metalization disappearing. Since I believe this is a capacitive type of
keyboard, I can see why it didn't work. What have others on the list done to
replace the plastic/sponge sandwich on this type of keyboard?
Well, you've found the standard problem unless the keyboard has been
vacuum sealed for the last 20 years.

I have keyboard rebuild kits (replacement pads and instructions) available
for $25.00, or I do keyboard rebuilds for $50.00. (plus $5.00
shipping/handling/etc.)
Details on the web page on the 'parts/objects' menu.
