Title: Silver label Model M numpad 1 key
Post by: litster on Sun, 30 October 2011, 22:00:34

I have a 1986 silver label model M keyboard that I just restored.  But somehow I lost the numpad 1 key.  The "End" print on the 1 numpad  keycap is darker than other Model M numpad keycaps, which are usually in grey color.

If you have a numpad 1 keycap or a set of model M keycaps that is like the one below (picture stolen from webwit) and are willing to part with, please let me know.  Thanks.

litster  I have a 1 key with End in a dark gray and another with End in beige.  Neither board is a silver label.  I have a box of old boards that might have something.  If you have a better pic of the num pad, I might be able to find a match.

Thanks h2gofast.  I found a couple fo sources for the replacement cap.  I should receive them next week. If they don't match, I will for sure hit you up with a replacement.  Thanks.
