YIKES I should check too I do have a few 30 year old keys on my ring. Pretty sure the Hp-2000 and HP-3000 keys are still there perhaps the pdp-8 m or f and possibly one for the 2000A Timeshare cabinets. I will see what else... you tend to put them on and never take them off. Ed# ( that has a key ring suitable for self-defense.)

I copied the cuts by hand, and did it backwards because of the similarty of the key designation. Sigh. The correct cuts for the 4T1427 are 7241 read bow to tip. I _think_ Christian's last two systems (several photos each) both have variants of the 4T1427. Here's a catalog entry at CHM for another pair of 4T1427 keys: http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102668532 De
