Eurostyle Keyboard Plunger

Post by jasonsbeer »

I am looking for one plunger for a Eurostyle keyboard. My keyboard has one where the tab is broken off the top. I could repair it, but would prefer to use a factory part, if possible. These plungers are not compatible with the more common "helvetica" keyboards. Let me know if you have a plunger you can part with. See pics. The gray, shorter plunger is the one I'm looking for.

Thanks!

I was able to grab a donor VIC with the Eurostile keyboard.

Do you got any spare plungers from this donor VIC-20? I've got a VIC-20 with these EuroStyle plungers and I have found no way to get some of these here in Mexico. I've got three broken plungers.

Well.. I never got hands on them. I ended up having a friend creating a 3D model of the plunger. I managed to make two of them into my broken keys and worked just fine. Only one is missing also the rubber contact and that one I am still missing to get the keyboard fixed.
