It should be possible to duplicate a flat key on something like the Roland
Modela 3-d milling machine. It might take a day to scan and a day to mill but
it should be possible...

it just used a standard blank. (In fact, there were several
First of all, safety first when working around these power supplies.
You have mains voltage exposed all over the place, including the front
panel switch.
What I typically do is take it all the boards out and disconnect the
power supply, and pull it out. I then re-form the capacitors by taking

Is all the keyed stuff just power on type switches
