Model M spacebar, backspace and spring
« on: Tue, 21 December 2010, 12:29:25 »
I recently bought a shabby 3270 keyboard, cleaned it up and fitted what spare keycaps I had already:



As you can see, it really needs space and backspace! These are the same as on any Model M, I believe (including the spacebar stabilizer wire).

What you can't see is the Model F spring I've used temporarily in the '.' switch. That works ok for testing, but it's far too soft.
So one or two Model M springs wanted as well please!

Send PM if you still need the keys.
I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.

Thanks ricercar, but just arranged getting them (and more!) from Ascaii.
