[Coco] TRS-80 key caps

[Michael Miller]

If you're willing to do this deal with someone else, I have a CoCo1 with a yellowed chicklet keyboard I would LOVE to replace. While I'm not super keen on the chicklet keys in general, the yellowing makes me a little nuts. I have considered retrobriting it, but am afraid of irreparably damaging it in the process, leaving without a good keyboard ☹

Sorry all! I should have actually read the post. I have a CoCo keyboard, not a TRS 80 Model 3 keyboard. Sorry!
