The LK401's are incredibly cheap and not really designed to be repairable, but I did repair one, because I had to, on one of my VT320's. It uses conductive rubber button/rubber sheet/metallized flexible PCB technology with a microcontroller. I thought one of the keys had a "dome" cut, but after taking it apart and removing the unspeakable crud/moldy food/human grime, I determined that the crud was stopping the key from making contact well. I cleaned it, bathed/409'd the keys and the entire keyboard in the bathtub except the flexible PCB's and it was like new! I like the shape of ADM-3's and early Televideo's. I wish I had one of the "eames era" DG Dasher terminals, I passed one up on eBay some time ago. Early Televideo keyboards (including the early PC keyboards were the absolute best, even better than IBM's, IMHO. The PLATO terminal I briefly used at Purdue was the neatest looking display, ever, but I don't remember much about it. --- "Zane H.

Jerome Fine replies: While I was in the basement this morning trying for the 99th time to recover some more bad blocks from an RK05 pack, I noticed an LK401 keyboard that I acquired about two years ago when I also acquired some BA23 boxes that were about to be tossed as well. My eye sight may be failing, but for the FIRST time, I just noticed that the LK401 keyboard has TWO ALT KEYS!!! WHAT are they doing there and WHAT are they used for? And what function do they have?????? Anyone, PLEASE.
