[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1031568, member: 325666"] Not had an awful lot of time to persue my interests ..but I did manage to buy an Apple Clone keyboard ..for my old pre 1980 europlus.. Now ..I knew it wouldn't be a direct swap ..not even electrically similar..but providing it had a full set of working key switches ...I would MAKE it work.. Came up with an idea to strip the old keyboard of switches ...and mount the clone key switches under the metal plate rather than through it .. then attached wire legs at 90 degrees to the clone key switch pins ..and solder them on floating leads .. Not stable enough ..so potted the heath robinson keyboard in silicon ..thus making them more stable ..and bolting the key plate escutcheon in place .. perhaps better explained with some photos .. so here we go.. ..and yes it works 100% [/QUOTE]
