Let's try this...
Had a ibm orig pc key board shipped in large flat rate Game size box.?
Alas it was dropped on the corner and torn somewhat.
I had to remount keyboard pc inside the case that had moved? and hardest part was getting
ground wire back
Worse part was one of the corner edge flip up things that keeps key at an angle bad
snapped off.???? Museum needs parts to fix this? as it is nice to display keyboard at an
angle
Alas? that particular Clicky keyboard is extremely heavy ... this is the one for first
ever ibm pc.?? Corner drop shock is a killer.
? Beware? pack these early keyboards really well...
OK does anyone have parts for the little mechanism on the end that keeps keyboard tilted
at an angle?
Try the folks at https://www.clickykeyboards.com/--they tend to hoard a
lot of old parts and are quite reasonable about selling them.
