Hello,
I boght a 4016 today which is in awesome nick – except the keyboard that needs a bit of attention. The SHIFT LOCK key does not work (broken, can not be repaired) and some keys are "sticky" although thoroughly cleaned.
Any tips for a more effective cleaning of the keyboard?
If not: Anybody got a source for NOS?
Bonus question: The 4016 misses it's front label (the big black one that says Commodore CBM 4016 computer". Any idea if someone makes repros?
Best
Armin

No NOS keyboards that I've ever seen, but CBM/PET can be found occasionally on eBay.
Apologies I don't recall their direct website, but reproduction front labels can be found on eBay as well.
FYI, I'm not an advocate for eBay and don't get me started on their Global Shipping Program, it is just that sometimes it is a necessary evil that needs to be checked.
