Hey folks, I've got a dead key in my TRS-80 Model 1 that needs
replacing. So ifanyone happens to have a spare keyswitch that would
wanna sell it tome...please do! :D
Is it the entire key switch you need? What's wrong with it, is it just notresponding? Have you tried deoxit? Usually fixes faulty keyswitches
for me.
It's kinda nice in a sense that the key forced me to take it all apart anyways.I desoldered that terrible ribbon cable that connects the
keyboard to themainboard. I'll replace it with wires from an IDE cable
as seems to be thecommon choice. I also want to do this new vblank sync mod that I was readingabout which is quite interesting. 3 wires and some pulled legs of chips andsuddenly you can sync on the vblank. Amazing
what gets discovered decades laterin that old hardware.
