Sounds like it is all coming together!

Ben,
I do not have the tape drive lid.
Appears I did have the back panel Robert needed and emailed him to get his
address. Will be sending that to him.
Three weeks ago the panel was sitting on the floor of an old barn. 3 more
weeks and it will be on a hopefully working PET or soon to be.
Always great to see these machines restored.

I am in need of a internal tape drive lid if you've got one...

Mine was recently damage in a move :(

Can someone describe the monitor back panel or provide a picture.
I just picked up some PET parts from a barn and might have what you are looking
for.
Small metal panel left and right sides slant inwards.

YMMV but for most people (including me ;-) cleaning and possibly a bit of light
sanding is all it takes and I think it's worth while to try that before
spending money on resurfacing the plungers.
For that, aside from the kits like the one you mention folks have used
rear-window-heater repair kits and also glued-on hole-punched foil disks. I've
used both on other keyboards, especially remote controls, but FWIW none of the
PETs I've worked on needed more than a good cleaning.
Maybe it depends on how and where the PETs have spent their lives; I've got
four on the bench right now; I'll let you know how they turn out ;-)

I re-and-re'd my keyboard and keys 3 times... Scrubbing away... each time it
got a bit better, but never perfect. Then I put my 4016 away for a few months
and when I broke it out again I was back to most keys not working. A year ago
I used circuit works keypad repair kit [CH-CW2605] and all is good as of today.

Usually all it takes is a bit of a rub down of the pcb with a *soft* eraser and
a good cleaning of the pcb and the key contacts with alcohol; in stubborn cases
a *very light* sanding of the key stems with fine grade emery cloth does the
job. Unlike cheap remote controls it's very rarely necessary to coat the key
pads with anything.
I should have an apostrophe key and spring somewhere; I'm not clear whether you
also need an R key or just the spring?

Hello John. On Tuesday, January 28, 2020, 6:49:27 PM, you wrote:

Thanks for your interest and feedback. Just to be sure I am not missing
out on some unspoken context, what
item are we exactly talking about for US$8.55? Are you in Toronto or
go to the TPUG meetings?
