Wanted A3000 parts

[callumdavidson]

Hello all,

I recently bought a very early (I think) s/no. revision 1 A3000 and am cleaning & restoring it for my personal collection.

So far, I know I need the following parts and wondered if you could point me in the right direction to source them?

1) L-ALT key, Mitsumi Keyboard, including "bouncy bit."
2) 4x A3000 keyboard rubber feet.
3) Left Shift Key.
4) Power LED or replacement LED panel.

Also, is there a hardware registry or s/no. DB that I can look up just to know where this system hits in overall history?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Historically Commodore serial numbers were not sequential and often repeated.

Sordan has a replacement LED board for the 3000
Numerous sales on ebay for individual keys for Mitsumi keyboards.
For the feet, not sure you are going to find anything OEM. Look on Amazon for rubber bumpers. They come in all sizes and shapes.

That's great information! Thank you for letting me know.

I have ordered the LED board and keys from Sordan and the bumpers from Amazon so can look forward to getting everything cleaned up and working well again.
