HP 9836 systems and Fuji Pictrography 4000 printer available

[David Collins]

Paul, the key switches look very much like this but on my unit the plastic stem is black.  The cross piece etc looks to be the same.

David,


Do you know if the key switches used in these keyboards are the same as 
the one in the Nimitz keyboard?    I  have a two switches with broken 
stems, that I have glued for now but it would be nice to get replacement and a few spares.

Paul.
