[It's an old Minolta slogan - do they still exist?]

At some point in my life I started disassembling dead keyboards. I was fascinated with what made them work and dissection of dead ones - from heavy-duty original IBMs to current generics gave me insight.

I kept all the keys - I'm not sure why. They now fill up one of those file boxes.

I'll see if I have a black set. Am almost sure I do as my daughter destroyed a black "Lifetime" Keytronic by dumping cola-product into it.

Or would you prefer to buy - for a very reasonable $10 - a never used black Dell keyboard? Take the keys off, paint, replace the keys - saves some hassle!
