Can someone help Valerie? Please CC reply to her as she is not
on any of these lists.
Basically she needs either IBM keycaps, or some transparent
stick-on label solution. In fact I source the latter here in
Bangkok to add Thai glyphs to my keytops; perhaps something
similar exists in an English-speaking country. If so please
advise vendor/partnumber/distribution channel.
I am myself interested in the answer to this question.

Hello,
Thank you so much for all your kind help. Unfortunately, bluestarusa.com
didn't have what I need. I don't need an entire new keyboard, just either
new "tops" for the keys, or stickers that cover the existing keys. If the
only way to go is a totally new keyboard, I'm afraid it is going to cost
just as much as what I sold the bloody thing for. Is it outrageously
expensive to replace the entire keyboard?

appreciate any help you could give me? I have sold my old IBM 385xd
(or dx??) laptop to a friend, and didn't even realize half the letters
are so worn off (the labels) they are unreadable. As she is not a
touch typist, she needs to see the "E" and the "U", etc. In your
post, you mention that you have to replace your keyboards? Do you
know where I could buy keys to replace mine? I called IBM and they
were of no help whatsoever. I would appreciate any comments you might
have. (The keys work fine, you just can't read a lot of them)
