Plunger & Spring for Commodore 64 breadbin keyboard 5mm (Type 1)

These types have the longer tip key-cap fitting (approx 5mm long cross section tip). Key-caps designed for the shorter (~3 mm) tip plungers do not fit as well so it's best to match the plungers to the rest of your keyboard (and/or keycap to be used). Shorter tip plungers available below.

• Clean and in  good condition

Plunger & Spring from Commodore C64(C) keyboard 3.5mm tip

Spare Key Caps For Springed 'Breadbin' C64 - Grade 1.5 - Minimal Yellowing

Used, but clean and undamaged keys from a standard UK mechanically-springed C64 (breadbin) keyboard with grey function keys. Each key cap includes an appropriate plunger and spring (in some cases you may need to replace the plunger present in your keyboard - see this page for info about this). The Shift Lock key is supplied as  cap only (ie: without the cross-point insert etc). See the items listed lower down for the other designs of key caps used in breadbins. 

Please note: As with the rest of the C64 plastics, its keys have usually yellowed with age - this is most noticeable on the main character printed on the key tops. To assist in matching your own keyboard I have split the keys I have for sale into groups (ranging from very slightly yellowed to noticeably yellowed - Grade 1.5 to 3 in this diagram). Obviously, this is all quite subjective and exact matches are impossible, however a "close enough" matched key is usually unnoticable within the full keyboard.

The following "Grade 1.5" keys (which have the least age yellowing) are currently available. The spacebar is listed separately.

Please specify which key you require in the Special Instructions box during checkout - thanks!
