Hi folks.

I am looking for a spare shift lock switch (https://postimg.cc/18SqMKQP and https://postimg.cc/B8XQC8X4) for my CBM 8032 keyboard (https://postimg.cc/Q98mP3Z8). Anyone happen to have a spare? I would only need the switch itself.

I’d be happy to pay something like 5-10 euros for the switch (+shipping costs to Finland).

The switch had it’s locking pin broken off (the key wouldn’t stay locked down). I was almost able to repair it (by forming new material on the tip using super glue and baking soda (google this if you haven’t seen, awesome method for plastic repair!)) but it didn’t really work as smoothly as I would’ve liked it to. Also while testing it and taking the switch apart several times, a tiny metal joint on the metal contacts themselves broke off, and that doesn’t feel really repairable.

Regards,
Ville
