Re: Apple /// keyboard

I just pulled my Apple /// (non-plus) out of the cupboard to test it
and all is well - except for the keyboard. Most of the keys are stuck
down and won't respond when touched. I'm a bit reluctant to pull the
key caps off to check for debris so what can I do to get this keyboard
back into shape ?


My first thought was that it was a keyboard that used foam at some point
in the key design, but I don't think so. I'm sure that each key was a sealed unit. I'll try and look later to see if I have anything remaining
of an Apple III keyboard and take a look.

One thing, the switches were the same as on the original Mac keyboard (the
one used through the Mac Plus).  I did a transplant at one point.
