I would rather a complete machine was not parted out,
not even an LA36 :-)
Somewhere I have a lot of LA36 bits. I probably have a keyboard PCBm adn
could remove keycaps if you cna't get them any other waye. Aren't they
the same as VT100 keycpas? The keyboard is much the same design.
I agree, and would not wish him to part one out. However, if the alternative is that
he's going to send it to the scrapper....
Also, I don't believe the key caps are the same as the VT-100. If you get a chance,
and have a spare KBD assembly, I'd be interested!

Sure, and in the latter case it is better to part it out. However, I am
pleased to read that this LA36 seems to have foudn a good home.

I may be thinking of the LA100 keyboard.... I do have a number of LA36
bits (from oen that was parted out...) I may well have the keyboard. I
will have to go digging. Do you need the whole PCB or just a couple of
keycaps?
