[GreenKeys] Looking ofr a model 33 keyboard key

[E. Groenenberg]

Hello Wayne.

Good tip! I'll leave the keyboard mounted in the pan and proceed as you
described. About 40% of the keys are discoloured and will clean them up
or replace them with better looking spares I have and also make use of
the situation to clean the inside when appropriate.

BTW, the pics seems to be lost in transmitting your original message....
