[GreenKeys] Model 28 Keyboard arrangement

[til128 at juno.com]

If you want to see and feel what you are doing, remove the 4 screws for the instruction plates and then remove the 6 screws holding the cover on.

See pix.

Tom Tillson says leave the cover plate on. I just tried a quick experiment
removing/replacing four keys from different rows, and, by Jove, I think
he's got it. Just tilt the keyboard up on its back and you've got access.
Maybe upside down would work too.

But if you do it that way, you'll miss the challenge and the thrill of
victory of simultaneously getting all those keys into all those holes. One
will perversely drop out while you're inserting another one -  like reverse
whack-a-mole..

Cheers,
