Hi,
The "2" key on my VT52 is very hard to use. You've gotta pound it and you
might get 2 "2"s for your trouble.
I assume that the keyboard switch is made of unobtanium (If you know of a
substitute chime in) so I'm thinking of swapping it for the "COPY" key
which I guess is useless unless you have the built-in thermal printer.
1. Do you simply pull the keyboard button off the switch or is there a
trick involved?
2. Any other gotcha's?
Thanks,
Marc
Have you tried cleaning, etc? I assume so but I'd be curious if there is a
specific restoration process for the VT50/52. I have not investigated this
myself, but eventually I will need to probably.
