I think the answer on the keytop thing may have been staring me in the face this whole time. This is a blank key from my CT1024:

The keys on my CT1024 have the legends/callouts painted on them, not engraved. I could simply make a mold of this key, cast it with my 2 part resin, paint it and then silkscreen the necessary legends/callouts on it. 'Simply'. Heh. But I do think now possibly SWTPC used the same basic keytops here that were offered in that initial 'low cost keyboard' article. -----Original Message----- From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-boun...@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Chuck Guzis Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2015 10:02 AM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts <cctalk@classiccmp.org> Subject: Re: TV Typewriter Cover Unit location?

The "feel" was terrible. I eventually replaced it with one of those NOS surplus terminal keyboards with the solid molded plastic base--I think LSI used those. I still have a few keytops from it. --Chuck ----- No virus found in this message. Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 2015.0.6172 / Virus Database: 4447/10805 - Release Date: 10/12/15
