Hi everyone,
My name is Alex, I am from Long Island, NY.
I've had and used Commodore computers for quite a long time (PET was the first back in 1979).
I was referred to these forums by RobertBe (thanks!) and I'm looking forward to getting my feet back into the Commodore world.
I've got a 128 (missing space key and power supply :( but I just purchased a 128D from a user on the Lemon64 forums (no keyboard though :(
Thanks and be talking to you soon!
Alex
Welcome! :)
I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but there is a way to wire the keyboard from your flat C128 to use it as a keyboard for your 128D. It might be an easier solution than finding someone with a spare 128D keyboard. Those are quite rare these days.

Heh, no one wants to pay the high cost of shipping it these days. :)

That's assuming, of course, that anyone has a spare 128D keyboard to ship in the first place. My guess is that there are far more 128D's with missing keyboards out there than there are 128D keyboards with missing 128D's. ;)
Welcome Alex!

No assumptions here. I'm speaking from practical experience.
