@Kai Robinson had previously let me know about www.peconnectors.com (Phoenix Enterprises), based in Chatsworth, Southern California, from whom I was able to order dual vertical 30-pin SIMM slots for my Mac II, though they do have a minimum order amount of $30 US.

Possible that the controller chip in the keyboard was blown at some point...

What may I ask contributes the most to the cost of the device? (Obviously I'm sure the labor involved in creating it is reason enough!)

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying!

Am I understanding correctly, that there'll room for three 32MB modules?

For the 3D-printed ones, you might consider sanding down the head-rest portion with fine grit sandpaper to get them as close to a smooth polish as possible.

Ah yes, maybe a little difficult if you're unsure, especially with the plastic clips on the keyswitch holding them to the frame. Good luck with the wd40! Hopefuly that does it.

Unfortunately I don't have calipers to measure, and there's a rim blocking the edge, but here are some pics to compare. The head area is noticeably thinner, being more translucent than the rest of the plastic.

If you can manage it, desolder the caps that don't work, then gently open them by prying open the bottom base. You should be able to take them apart. Apply a cleaner like DeOxit or just gently clean the metal contact directly. Then put back together! Barring that, spraying some WD-40 directly...

As I commented on MLA, this is very exciting! Frankly, I would accept a special cable that connects one end to the board and the other to a loose RAM slot... :D

I stand corrected!

The PB500 floppy cable comes to mind... And I know one other person and myself have damaged the flat flexes in the AppleCD 600...

If you mean the MacEffects gears, they are not 3D printed I don't believe, and they're certainly not NOS. I don't recall the manufacturing process for them and currently the page is not listed since they're out of stock.

Welcome, and have fun!

That's what I was thinking! System Info is great.

At least determining whether they have an FPU or not is reasonably simple.

MacEffects also sells purportedly higher quality ones; I bought a pack recently but haven't tested them yet... 😵

I would personally be very interested in a newly-made Brainstorm for my Plus!

There's a version of the Apple Extended Keyboard II that has a flat power key, rather than the trapezoidal one that you have, but that's minor. There is also the Music Publisher Keypad if you want something obscure (meant specifically for use with the Music Publisher software).

On a lark, I decided to try ordering one of GeeThree's PS/2 to ADB mouse adapters from their old website. Despite appearing more or less inactive, and the website itself being a bit janky, I was able to get an order through and, wouldn't you know it, my order arrived today! If I had to guess...
