Re: Need II/II+ left arrow key and keyswitch

[Andrew Summers <asummers@columbus.rr.com>]

These keyboards are confusing.  The keycaps are most definitely smooth
and shiny, and what I would consider 'sculptured' as they have a good
indentation in them, unlike a //e.  The only key with any texture is
the spacebar, and it only has minimal texture.  But the power light is
flush.  The computer is one of the last II's made I believe, build date
in 1980 serial number A2S1-71xxx, so it was definitely made alongside
II+'s

I'll try emailing you a photo, or if you don't get the email and you
read this, please contact me asummers@columbus.rr.com.  Thanks so much
for your help.
