>Re the stuck keys, you could try removing the key cap and then carefully spraying the key post with WD40, then put the key back and press it a few times. Don't soak it, just spray it lightly. Depending on the keyboard be careful not to lose the springs when you lift off the key.

This problem is not new and since the 80s I wanted to get a replacement keyboard (drooled over the ads in Rainbow), but even at $70 USD it was far beyond what I could afford. Since I was living abroad I calculated about 2.25x more to cover shipping and import duties.
