Title: Fixing model M with missing stabiliser wire and broken stabiliser mount
Post by: ag36 on Wed, 02 May 2018, 10:24:50

I recently acquired a blue label 1987 UK Model M with missing stabiliser wire and broken stabiliser mount, here's the result.

[attach=4]

You'll need super glue, 1.2mm metal wire(I used copper). Spacebar uses 1.9mm.

I recommend buying a new stabiliser insert and keycap from Unicomp if you live in the US, also keycap to fit stabiliser wire is incompatible with the type used for stabiliser insert.
