Hi Jessica I'm in the same boat - I have a '200 with three switches which don't work. I they can be de-soldered and then taken apart for cleaning, but I haven't attempted that yet. The alternative is to have a donor machine. I have a 102, 200 and NEC and am not clear whether the key switches are interchangeable. I do need to get the '200 sorted, so if you don't get any other replies I can certainly report on my investigations.
Regards, Mark.
