Msg: Re: keyboard questions

Assuming that was the same and only repair guy who has been mentioned here in the past (I thought he was in New Jersey, for some reason . . . ), I seem to recall that at some point he became controversial for reasons _other than_ this ? But, if he remains the best option around, there may not be much choice.

If / when using him again, you could certainly specify that any such chip remain undisturbed. (Didn't one of the Northgate models also have that same fully programmable feature ?)

Hello Tom,

If I recall right, the here mentioned Bob Tibbetts was in the habit of
doing this. If they have gone through his hands, this might just be
case. This is utter frustration, and reminds me of my long gone father
who ‘fixed’ my police car when I was four or something (it was too
loud). God bless his soul! What is the point of a programmable keyboard
when you take the guts out of it. Beware us of those handymen...

Best regards,
