    I'm looking for a CF29/30 emissive..NON rubber keyboard..
    It must still light...I don't care about missing or broken keys.

    Thanks

    Morgan,

    It is a PARTS keyboard, Right?...This is for education/experimentation.....I don't see the need to destroy a good keyboard.

    Thanks

    I have a broken one and one that is badly worn, I wouldn't put it on any unit. If it will put your mind at ease, I can accidently drop my ball pen hammer on the worn one. :D

    I have one...Missing the TAB key.... The guy sent it to me with the keyboards stacked on top of each other. The double stick tape pulled the key off and now I have one missing a key.... Sheesh.

    Yours if you need it Shawn.... Or you can send me a TAB key off the one Morgan sent... LOL

    Toughbook,
    There is a TAB key in the box with Shawn's keyboard. I am sure he can/will forward it to you.

    Shawn,
    The box will go out tomorrow. Got word of incoming funds.

    If yer gonna make a career of it there is a KB here with wore-off letters. Just have to figure out which one.....or open them all. Seems like it may be my fire CF-29. An N model maybe. Hmmmm. LB took a nap and I had to find her. She is a little puny but nursed good tonight. Changing her name to Nickel. ( as in I wouldn't give a plugged nickel that she makes it) Relax I'm being a pessimistic rancher.

    Let me know what you need. And yes your X-strap is on the short list. :D

    Making silk purses out of sow's ears takes time...or I need SOMETHING to do while waiting on the X strap :D

    As you already know, NO hurry on the strap....

    Nickel is a better name than Lazy Butt......All the "kids" (goats) at school would have teased her.
