I've been slowly restoring an Apple II (original) to working condition
and my last hurdle is getting the keyboard working reliably. When I
started a handful of keys didn't work, worked intermittently or had
debouncing problems and I managed to get them working fairly well again
by carefully working in some contact cleaner into the switch. (It's a
real PITA since these things are solid blocks of plastic and cannot be
disassembled.) I have one key left that I cannot make work through this
method. I'd rather not sacrifice another keyboard just for a single
keyswitch; does anyone have any of these going spare or have a "salvage
quality" Apple II keyboard I could pull a switch from? (Or does anyone
have better repair advice for these switches?)
Thanks as always,
Josh
