I know, actually I have used these pages to restore a keyboard.
It was just an example. My point was to share what I consider an interesting site.
With the document that I have pointed you can restore the complete desktop !

Bitsavers is an awesome site for vintage computing equipment documentation and software. It's a computer collectors library. I also used that same manual for the IBM 5100. If the community didn't contribute the material they do for that resource, we wouldn't see many vintage computers running today.

Good choice to post.
