New Clip / Grommet  for Power LED

• For the standard 5mm round power LED used in the breadbin case.
• Clip and ring supplied, good quality and easy to fit. 

"Type 1" Spring for Commodore C64 breadbin, C64C (and some VIC20) keyboards

• Suitable for all the keys (except the spacer bar) of the breadbin Type1 keyboard (3 or 5mm plunger) and C64C
• Fractionally longer than an original Type3 spring but these can be used in those keyboards too.
• Also fine for the C16 and some VIC20s
• Good condition

"Type 1" Plunger & Spring for C64(C), C16 (and some VIC20) keyboards ~3mm tip

These plungers have a shorter (approx 3mm) tip as usually found on the C64C (white) keyboard, but also on some breadins, the Commodore C16 and some VIC20s. Key caps designed for both types fit well.

• From a standard metal spring Type 1 C64 keyboard.
• Clean and in good condition.
• Individually tested to make sure the conductive rubber pad is OK.
• Note: key caps designed for 5mm tip types are not a perfect fit on 3mm plungers.

Type 1 Plunger & Spring for Commodore 64 breadbin and some VIC20 keyboards - 5mm tip

These types have the longer tip key cap fitting (approx 5mm long cross section tip).

• From a standard metal spring Type 1 breadbin C64 keyboard (and some VIC20s.)
• Clean and in  good condition
• Individually tested to make sure the conductive rubber pad is OK
• Note: key caps designed for the shorter ~3.5mm plungers are not a pefect fit on 5mm plungers.

Spare Key Caps For "Type 1" Springed 'Breadbin' C64 (and VIC20)  - Grade 1.5 - Minimal Yellowing

Used, but clean and undamaged keys from a standard UK mechanically-springed C64 (breadbin) keyboard. 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. All of my breadbin keys are the standard dark brown with grey function keys (note: the "Aldi" type C64 which has a breadbin case but a white keyboard uses Early C64C keys - please see the C64C keyboard section for those.)

Please note: As with the rest of the C64 plastics, the 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 when available.

Please specify which key(s) you require in the Special Instructions box during checkout - thanks.

(Please don't order keys that are not shown in stock above. Also note that only one key cap of each type is available - please don't request multiples.)

Keys are used but clean and undamaged. Note that due to age there will be some yellowing noticeable in the key top lettering and the body of the function keys - I would grade them as appox 1.5 on my colour chart.
