Hi
I have just acquired one one the above computers and would like to restore it. Unfortunately the previous owner has removed most of the keys. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can replace them? regards Ian |

Re: Sharp PC-1500A
Hi Ian,
have you tried asking Sharp themselves, as they may sell a complete set as a spares item. Googe 'sharp forum' to see if you can find a Sharp community that may be able to help. Then there is always ebay which may have a broken one for spares and repair. However, just looking there, they seem expensive items. Please advise back on progress. Good Luck - Mike |

Re: Sharp PC-1500A
Wow I have one of these somewhere, complete with printer and I think micro cassette. Didn't realise they where sought after. Wonder of keys from a contempary sharp pocket calculator would fit. Then use something like leteraset to put he letters on.
