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?

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?
