I suspect the most common machine to have that keyboard is either the
TI99/4a or the HP85. I wouldn't suggest raiding either one for keyboard
parts...
Is the TI-99/4A so uncommon? At least here in the states, you can't hardly
throw a rock without hitting one. Ok, maybe not that common... but my
understanding is that TI basically flooded the market with these things in
an attempt to win out against Commodore and Atari in the home computer
market in the 80s...
(Not that I love the idea of destroying any working "classic" computer for
parts, it's just that if you're going to, you might as well make sure it's
nothing anyone's going to miss...)
