Opry99er Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Does anyone have a set of beige key caps (or a beige keyboard assembly) they'd be willing to get rid of (say off a dead beige console)? I'd happily trade something or pay for the caps. One of my consoles has a couple of broken key caps (broken in the move) and I'd like to just switch the whole set out. I've been using black keys on a silver console for 10 years... thought maybe I'd like to try out beige on silver for a while. Thanks!

+OLD CS1 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 If you just want to replace key caps, it will be important to know if the key caps have the square or post-hole in the underside, and the position of the right SHIFT key's plunger. Some of the plunger mating holes are off-center and others are centered. Might be easier just to get a replacement keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 True... my posts are square... but I'm not 100% sure on the Shift-Key orientation. I'll look for a replacement keyboard on the interwebs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 True... my posts are square... but I'm not 100% sure on the Shift-Key orientation. Flip it over to find out. Or you could ask it, but it might change from day to day. ::fnar fnar:: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjh76 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Heh, just found one on ebay. Unfortunately it's attached to a "homebrew" computer that's a little expensive if all you want is the keyboard https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-HomeBrew-Computer/112715163632?_trkparms=aid%3D777003%26algo%3DDISCL.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D47300%26meid%3Df19d83d326034949ae7d5637f1664ea7%26pid%3D100012%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D162838995561%26itm%3D112715163632&_trksid=p2047675.c100012.m1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyDean Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I have a sinclair in a metal box, with a TI99 keyboard as the input. Worked 17 years ago. Haven't tried it since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tursi Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 A bit expensive for a dead TS-1000, but a cute little setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradleyb Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 If you're getting rid of the black keycaps, can I have your old CTRL key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobh42a Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Looking for a single "Z" keycap for an old Black and Silver TI 99/4A. It is the old switch type as pictured. Tried ordering one on EBay but it was not the correct type. Anyone have an old Dead machine with this type of keyboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emarquis1 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Looking for a black Right Side Shift key which has the CENTERED post. This is for a stackpole keyboard with the hollow square posts. I have an entire set of the other same style keys with the exception of the FCTN and / key that I can use for sell or trade. Thanks, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
