Good morning everyone.
I am restoring a PET 3032 unit and I need to find a RETURN button.
Since the same keyboard style is found on the early VIC 20 models, I thought maybe someone on this forum might have it and could sell it to me.
PS: I am from Italy.
fingers crossed.. thank you all!

Welcome,
It's your first post, right?
I'm Italian too but all my Vics use the new layout, sorry.
What about a 3D printing custom part?

Hi nbla000,
yes, 3D printing could be feasible but I would really like to restore my unit to its former glory using original parts.
If possible, of course.

Re: BUY: PET style RETURN key
Hi there, and welcome . Another Italian here. I do have PET style VICs, but no spare parts/keyboards. Are you sure the keys are exactly the same, i.e., they will fit the lower part of your CBM's keyboard? I know for sure that the VIC itself had at least three different key plugs in its lifespan.

Hi orion70,
I'm aware about this, but thank you for pointing this out.
Obviously my first choice would be to find a key that perfectly fits my keyboard.
However, if there is no better option I think I could adapt the back of the key to make it fit, as long as the modification is not visible.
