I'm so glad that my spare keyboard was able to help. I also understand why I was never going to be able to fix that keyboard --- I have neither your tools nor your patience. That thing is really awful! I'm frankly amazed, but very happy, that you got it to work! Good luck on your continuing Apple II journey!
Yeah, but you know enough about Heinlein to call me on it. Says something about you, too. ;) "You live and learn or you don’t live long." - Robert Heinlein (Lazarus Long - Time Enough for Love)
I tried several times to fix the on that came with the used apple II+. Finally it just broke. I had one key that for some reason stopped working no matter what. So I gave up and used a ps/2 adapter. Finally tracked down different keyboard. Problem solved.
I was starting to feel that way about mine, so it was fortunate I had the other keyboard from Dev Rossik. I still do intend to dig back into that keyboard at some point in the future and see if I can get it working, but at least I have a working ][ Plus now. Thanks for watching!

High praise coming from you, Dev. You seemed to have all the answers when we spoke before. Thanks for the keyboard and thanks for watching.
Excellent video and great job on the keyboard! Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it, Rudy. And thanks for the compliment!
Educational video as always! That keyboard looks horribly fiddly. Ick! And Heinlein... you weird, dirty old man...
