A600 keyboard - caps lock plunger?!

Hi All

Of all the keys, cleaning an old A600 keyboard and de-yellowing, I managed to snap the caps lock white insert so now the key won't lock in...
Searching ebay I can not locate the caps and most are P&P 30 plus GBP!

Anyone know where I can get a replacement plunger for this key or a fix? Got the quavers colour off so nice and be shame to have 2x key flap about!

The A600 came with 2 different keyboard plunger types. The Green ribbon keyboard uses the standard type plunger found from other Amiga keyboards. The blue ribbon keyboard on the other hand is a different type of plunger which as far as I know is unique.

What colour data ribbon is your keyboard? Green or Blue?

Then this should use the standard plunger which you should be able to use from a A1200.

EBay is the only source I’m aware of. Maybe worth seeing if a broken spares or repairs keyboard comes up as it might come in handy if you have any other broken plungers or keys to replace

Also look for A500 keyboards as well.
