We briefly discussed the possiblity of you posting a request
for the keycaps I need to restore my 3B1-keyboard.
If that is still possible then I may have a chance of making
this keyboard whole again.

Their are two styles of keyboards mostly seperated by age.
I need the two keycaps from the newer style keyboard.
These are the down arrow (Roll) and the right arrow keycaps.
These are the bottom, rightmost keys on the keyboard.

The new keycaps which are the ones which I want have a very small,
approximately 1/8 inch by 1/16 inch rectangular-section stud on their
underside which is made entirely of white plastic.  The stud fits into
a rectangular-section socket on the keyboard.  This socket is made of
brown plastic, and takes the form of a 3/8 by 1/4 inch protrusion or
stud which has the necessary rectangular socket hole in its top.

To differentiate a description of the old style keycaps follow.
The old style keycaps have a white plastic socket in the bottom
of them which is square in section and about 3/16 inches in inside
side length or 1/4 inches in outside side length.  This socket fits
over a white plastic stem on the keyboard which is square in section,
about 3/16 inches in outside side length, and has a small round hole
in the center.  The old keycaps also have a soft clear plastic boot
on their undersides which is about 1/2 inches in inside diameter, and
is circular in section.  

Your help much appreciated,
