A couple of months ago, George Foumakis contacted me about fixing a Lisa capslock key.
He posted the photo here: https://postimg.cc/image/lwpyl31uj/
In the photo at the url above, from left to right in the image in the url:
It seems that I lost the pin (0) from one of my keyboards by being too hasty in opening 3 - you've been warned.
I've also attached 3 photos to this message showing how this all fits together.
The photo named 20180910_172818_resized in the attachments to this email
show the gold pin, and how 1 and 2 fit together. However the white
grooved plastic bit (1) should be pushed towards the right when putting
the capslock key back together.
The tip of 1 that points towards the gold pin goes to the bottom of the
outside of the capslock square. The gold pin 0 fits into this groove and
the groove implements the locking mechanism.
The 20180910_174807_resized photo shows the capslock key - this is the one that's in the middle on the rightmost row - the space bar would be to the bottom of this - you can identify the capslock key in this picture because it has a vertical opening to the right. If you look very closely at the bottom of this opening you can see the gold pin stick out thin end to the outside.
The opening inside the capslock plunger may have a hidden tiny spring there, as pushing the pin in causes it to jump out - yet another thing that makes it very difficult to put back in, and easily lose the pin as it will go flying. I've not taken the plunger apart so I don't know if that's the case or not.
20180910_172604_resized shows the assembled caps lock key with the closing cap (3) in place.
I'll add this to LisaFAQ eventually.
