Hey guys,
recently I purchased an Acorn Atom from TheCorfiot. It was one of the few pieces missing from my collection however it was badly yellowed and had several broken keys (all clearly stated by TC in the sale thread of course).
Anywho, TC was kind enough to send me a spare key plunger and springs for one of the keys which was missing it and I plastic welded the other plungers.... two sessions of Retrobrite later and the finished unit is as nice and clean as can be expected of an almost 40 year old piece of hardware.
Thanks for all your help TC.
