Notes: Along with the system unit, I have the 2 drive expansion unit, part number 26-4160. However, only the 2nd drive in the expansion unit works - the first drive has a broken hub clamp. The keyboard only had 5 working keys on it, as the foam pads had disintegrated on all the others. Based on this article about rebuilding Sol 20 keyboards, I constructed new foam pad and mylar assemblies using a Space Blanket, a strip of 3/16" track foam from the local hobby shop, the original plastic backing discs from the keyboard, Elmer's Rubber Cement and a 7/16" hollow punch. The keys are a little stiffer than the original, but they are 100% functional.
