I do not recall seeing anything of that nature amidst the bits. Spare keytops, plattens, chad bins, springs and more, but no keyboard butterflies. It's a flat part and shouldn't be as critical on the manufacturing tolerances as parts in the printer carriage - if you have one, it should be possible to make duplicates. If you don't have any, someone could throw one on a flatbed scanner... You might even be able to get away with a plastic replacement - wouldn't be as durable (months/years instead of years/decades), but you could make a stack of them. If you have any friends who are train buffs, especially those who make their own engines/cars from raw materials rather than kits, they should have the necessary tools/skills to copy a 1"x2" flat piece of metal with a few notches and curvy bits. -ethan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
