[GreenKeys] Keyboard part...

[Randy or Sherry Guttery]

Hi gang!

George told me there would be days like today.  I was sitting at my 
computer, working on some graphics "stuff"; when I heard this "ping - 
klunk - rattle, rattle, plink" over where the 28 is sitting (it hasn't 
been powered up in a couple of days).  Curious - I walked over and 
looked around - didn't see anything at first - then I noticed this 
little piece of a part on the table under the keyboard.  Uh-oh, that 
looks like the end of the code bail latch. Yup - certainly is. Now I 
know why the keyboard started acting up the other day- after I thought I 
had it "fixed". Looking at the "fracture" - it's been "going" for a 
while, as part of the "crack" is dull while a small portion is still 
shiny fresh metal.

Anyway - anyone have this part - it's the OLD MkI keyboard with the 
"over the top" latch (rather than the latch that goes underneath the 
bail) - P/N 151186. "Someone" noted the other day that he just "junks 
out" all those old Mk Is - hopefully he or someone saved some parts. I'd 
certainly be willing to buy the whole assembly if that'd help someone 
clean out some nasty old parts ;-) .

Here's a link to an illustration of the part (with a pix of the piece 
that broke off):
