Greetings,
I have a few slightly broken keys on my R100 - mostly where the plastic threaded section has broken away from the main body of plastic where the rear machine screw holds it to the metal bar, only on some white keys so far. I've come up with a pretty good repair with glue plus some epoxy reinforcing, but I was wondering if I can scavenge keys from other organs e.g. the later spinets. The keys are the diving board type.
Related tip: I've found that these drum lug bolts are the same size and thread pitch to fit the R100 keys - they would need adapting (shortening and trimming the head), but are compatible if you have trouble finding the right machine screw - probably more relevant to European readers on metric system.
