[GreenKeys] Finished Table Top Teletype Model 35KSR

John, 

An astounding job! 

Thanks for the tip on replacing keytops. 

Its an easy job to remove keys from a 33 kybd with a slightly different tip. No power applied, keyboard cover off. Remove the the Repeat and Break keys as they will fall out too easily anyway. Reset the kybd manually (push down the little lever extending out of the front, see pic) and depress the key you want to remove and it will tip out of the slot. Replace it and manually reset the kybd. Move on to the next key. You can take them all out at once if you dare, but you should take a pic first or have another kybd to reference to. The CTRL, SHIFT and SPACE keys require a little careful maneuvering but they are the same process. No force is necessary. Note that keys with a spring on them have a notch to load the spring and then release it after installing. 

Giving away too many secrets here and yes the pic is of a dirty kybd. 

73 and best regards, 

Wayne
