Sonic also posted on Amibay about this. He has the 'microgramma' keyboard. This one came out after the PET style keyboard but before the one which uses C64 style pegs and keys.srowe wrote:You need to mention which of the 3 different keyboards you have.
It is the only keyboard I know which has 'suction cups' inside.
Be normal.

It may turn out to be easier for you to completely change the keyboard.Sonic wrote:Thank you eslapion

The type of keyboard you have and want to fix is a bit of a rarity. VIC-20s are perfectly electrically and physically compatible with C64 and C64c keyboards.

I look at the typeface used on the return key and I would say yes.Sonic wrote:eslapion is the keyboard with the yellowish Function keys similar to the ones i need ??

Re: Vic 20. + & Del keys
Let's hope they're the right ones. Eurostile keyboards are uncommon according to Giacomo's register, would be great for you to salvage one.

Re: Vic 20. + & Del keys
I managed to sms (txt) the seller with my pics i took with my Galaxy S5 and he assured me those are the keys in question and the plungers.. The plungers are exactly the same as mine, the C64 ones are much longer in length....srowe wrote:Let's hope they're the right ones.
