Title: Replacing Model M plastic studs with screws (website)
Post by: pex on Sun, 27 January 2008, 21:24:27

Anyone know offhand what the address is to the tutorial about fully dissembling your Model M and then replacing the plastic studs with screws to maintain the clickiness of the keys?

I can't for the life of me google it today or click through other pages.  Just PM me the site and I'll delete this post.

Dammit.  It's http://sandy55.fc2web.com/keyboard/repair_model_m.html

Found it about the same time as you posted.  You can rid the board of this.

Why would he want to do that? Some of us might find the info useful. Besides I can guarantee that that anything posted on the web will live for ever in google's caches (I have been recovering my blog posts from it, since my webhost went belly up).

Actually, Google clears their caches every now and then, after a few years.

Web Archive, OTOH... (although, they'll nuke it right away if there's a robots.txt banning access to that file, IIRC.)

(And, having a link to that page, on something searchable on this forum, is a good thing to have.)

sandy55 is a great resource anyway:

Note how he has two groups of Alps switches, standard and 'simplified'.
