I'm working on a 15 base right now.  I was going to say #3, but that was probably caused by #4.

When went to disassemble the 15 to lighten the load the keyboard would only pull out 2".  It was wired direct.  Somewhere there's a land fill containing the keyboard slip connector set.   The send-receive-blank switch was also completely disconnected, but still there.
