Default WTB: keyboard for Commodore SX-64

Yeah, I know it's not an Amiga, but still from the same parent company.

Anyhoo, I picked this SX-64 at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago and when I got it on the workbench found it to be working perfectly except for the keyboard which requires a LOT of patience, or a hammer, to get the keys to function.

Thought about cleaning, but the thing is just plain nasty and corroded.

I'm located in Amarillo, TX, so overseas might not be my best option due to shipping costs, unless the price is really right!

I have a complete system in excellent shape with a great keyboard, don't want to part it out.

Appreciate the offer, but don't need another complete system.

Still, will keep it in mind just in case.

Contact master C= repair technician Ray Carlsen. He has repaired many, many SX-64 keyboards for our group. You can find his e-mail address at http://personalpages.tds.net/~rcarlsen/

@RobertB

Thanks for the link!

He's got an article on cleaning the SX64 keyboard, so I think I'll try that first, but will still keep my eye out for a replacement, just in case...
