maxheap Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I bought what I thought was a parts machine, but turned out to be in great shape and works perfectly, other than the keyboard missing some keys. Is there anywhere to source the missing keys? This machine is so nice, I'd like to restore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sm3 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Best Electronics has 800 keyboards for $40 + shipping. There is a limit of 1 per customer though. He must be running out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Lange Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 You can buy individual key caps from Best Electronics as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam242 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) I have a bad 800 keyboard that I've already used to help a few people.. PM me with a list of which ones you need. EDIT - Took a good look at your picture and it looks like I still have all of them except CTRL. Edited October 30, 2014 by adam242 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxheap Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 With the help of Adam242 was able to source most of my missing keys. I can type now! I'm still missing the tab, ctrl and left shift keys. My 800 has the yellow plungers for the keys. These keys are not interchangeable from the gray plunger keyboards. Please PM me if you have any of the missing keys that you are wanting to part with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
