Hello,
I would like to put into operation my old Acorn Atom computer. But it’s keyboard is damaged. I need help missing keycaps. I think I can adopt the missing keycaps from an BBC Micro from Acorn, BBC has to have the same size of keycaps. Or maybe some old Cherry keyboard as shown in enclosure could have the same size keycaps.

You can see the damaged keyboard in enclosure, so I need the keycaps S,D and C. Or I shall adopt all keys from another „keycaps compatible“ keyboard.
The original Atom dark grey plastic keycaps are dimension 18x18 mm and height 12 mm.

I am searching for Acorn Atom parts as PCB, keyboard and case to put my old 8-bit "babies" into operation.

Many thanks for helping and support.

Best regards from Prague

Stanislav

Hello,

I've read that you are looking for a number of Atomic parts.
It so happens that I have some (not working) Atoms.
If you give me a more detailed list of what you need
I'l dive in my loft and see what I can offer.
I myself am looking for one or more specimens of the following two chips,
namely the 65C02 (the one with the extra opcodes)
and the 8271, the Floppy Disk Controller.
Maybe we can make a swap?
