I've been dealing with a head cold most of this week, so one benefit was being home when my Atari parts order arrived.
The main part in this order is a new keyboard membrane for the 1200XL. It was a fairly easy install (no soldering, looking at you Commodore) and as the photo shows, all is happy again.
I gave the SunCom StarFighter joystick a service, as it had carbon build up on the directional contacts, meaning it only worked in one direction.
I can't wait to show off this fairly rare machine at this coming Sunday vintage meet.
