[vcf-midatlantic] Replacing keyswitches on a Macintosh Plus keyboard

OK, I can help you but you have to help me. The M0110A keyboard for the 
Plus and 512KE has a numeric keypad on the right with the keycaps you 
describe. The M0110 "short" keyboard for the 128K and 512K does not. 
Point one: you have the long keyboard right?

Point two: there's no "standards" when it comes to keyboards, OK? Brand, 
model, where it was built, when it was built - those come into play.

For expediency, I'll just ask you identifying questions.

A) what color is the broken *keystem*? Creamy white? Ivory white? Black?
b) what color is the *keycap*? Grey/platinum or brown/tan/beige?

I can likely supply you at InfoAge, keyswitch and keycaps on Saturday to 
you in hand, if you inform me before Friday midnight. OK? Plan B: I find 
out Saturday and provide parts Sunday. With parts in hand you can visit 
with Jon Chapman at the CDL lab at InfoAge and repair the keyboard in 
some short period of time. Please reply privately to me so we can work this.

Regards, Herb Johnson
