IBM 5150 PC XT Keyboards

Foomy

so I have an IBM 5150 PC sitting on a shelf in my room that still runs great, but my keyboard for it is missing it's I key and the buckling spring switch parts for it. and because it's an 83-key xt keyboard you can't just go and plug any sort of newish one into it and have it work.

so anyone know where I could get the parts to fix it? or perhaps an entirely new* 83-key xt keyboard for it? or even better some sort of AT to 83-key XT adapter thing. Preferably from somewhere in canada, as I'm sure the shipping from the USA would be horrible.

I have a major craving to play some trapper and burger time on my glorious 1981 tech.

* new meaning new to me, i'm sure no one actually makes these things anymore.

The clicky keyboard will never die.

ya das keyboards are nice, but they arent 83-key xt. so it wont work on my 5150.
but i did do some further inspection last night and found each key is individually removable. so now i just need to find one buckle spring keyboard switch that is compatable.

Oh! You want to run the 5150. I thought you wanted to keep the keyboard and use it on a modern PC. I fail at reading comprehension.
