I've been interviewing people who used the Alto in various scenarios
(system devs, app devs, non-expert users) and NO ONE used the keyset. It's
fascinating historically, but in part because of its apparent irrelevancy.

I see you have the same problem as I did encounter: a rusting shaft that binds
the keys together... I agree, they really spent big $ for production level
tooling (and industrial design and engineering) to make the chordset, it is
quite impressive.

I had to fix a key on CHM's keyset today, so I shot a bunch of pictures while
it was apart

They spent a lot of money on this. There are two castings of the same material
as the keyboard
and monitors, and two injection molded parts for the key
