Hello James. I've received your package today! Many, many thanks for taking the effort to send me the key(s), the plunger and the springs. You are awesome! If you ever visit the Netherlands, make sure to stop by and claim your well deserved beer 

Is Buddy still available somewhere? I cannot find it at all (except for the documentation). Thanks.

I want to disable my 128D's internal 1571, but which connector is the internal IEC connector? I have four to choose from Many thanks.

Hello! I've sent you the money along with an e-mail. I hope i can fix my keyboard with your key!

Dennis

Thank you very much for showing me the picture. Now i know what you are talking about It would be really cool if you could send me a key, plunger and perhaps a spring, if you are can miss it. If i cannot solder it myself, i know someone who can. I haven't done soldering that often The only thing i'am wondering about is if the keys are exactly the same. The photo of the key i have posted has a little piece of round plastic sticking out of it, while your picture shows a key with a piece of plastic inside which is square shaped (ready to fit the plunger). I could be that i'am looking at a bit plunger still attached to key, but i can't get it off. Do you know if the keyboards from a 128 and 128D are essentially the same thing? I'am a novice at these things.

I live in the Netherlands, but i'll happily pay for the goods incl. the shipping costs!

Many thanks so far!

Hi! Thank you for your response. I managed to remove the key, but all i've got now is a broken key, and some loose plastic in the hole where the key came from. I tried to remove the broken pieces of plastic, but they are either stuck behind something, or it's really attached to something. I could stick a screwdriver into the hole and use some pressure, but i don't want to make things worse

I tried to make some pictures of the current situation:

That's the broken key. It's a fuzzy photo, but you can clearly see the broken key. I'am not sure what a good key looks like, and at the moment i don't have the guts to remove another one. I was always better in destroying things instead of fixing them

This is what it looks like now. There is some broken plastic (but still stuck in some way) and i'am not sure what to remove..

I also have troubles finding out what a plunger exactly is

The spring took a jump, but i'll probably find it again soon Do you have some tips for me after looking at the pictures?

Best regards,

Dennis

Hello! I just aquired a really good looking C128 (flat model) to replace my C64C (which i will keep as backup). I like the keyboard of the C128 a lot better, and i think the C128 looks awesome as well The only problem is that one of the keys is loose and wobbly. It's not an important key (the pound sign in the upper right corner), but it annoys me anyway I tried to pry it off with my fingers, but it won't let go as easily as i hoped. I'am not sure how much pressure i can apply and if i would destroy the key if i do so. I suspect (but i'am not sure at all) that the spring is worn out, but at this moment i'am clueless how to replace it. Does anyone even have spare keys and/or springs in case i need one?

If someone thinks it's not the spring, but something else, please let me know as you probably know more about C128 keyboard then i do

Many thanks in advance!

Dennis
