Hi Lucas
Thanks for the reply.
Is that a membrane keyboard you're talking about? I haven't desoldered
the keyswitches as I didn't know whether I could gain access to the
internal mechanism, but if you think that's possible I can give it a whirl.
Regards, Mark.

Sorry for replying to late. When I bought my T200 it had a couple of
dead keys. I had some luck cleaning the rubber up and then marking it
up with a pencil to add some graphite to it. Probably not as permanent
of a fix as it could be but its been holding up pretty well so far.

So, I took apart the Tandy 200 and it turns out that the issue
with the non-functional keys is the switches themselves. I have 3
that don't work, I don't suppose anyone has any spare they could
send me please? Other than that the unit works great.
Many thanks, Mark
P.s. I'm in the UK, happy to cover postage costs.
