I have found a Lombard for spare parts and was wondering, if the keyboard have the same switches as my Pismo (since I lack a few).
Perhaps the chassis could fit as well? (Since my sister, spilled acetone nail-polish remover on it in 2002).
BW,
Kristian

The keyboard probably does, although the actual keyboard isn't compatible. (It has a different connector)

You mean the brownish transparent keys ? Yes they are the same. But I think you can't exchange the all keyboard as the connector ribbon is not of same length .
As for the case, I don't think the bottom part would fit , as the connectors are different on the back (SCSI for the Lombard, FW for the Pismo).
Maybe the top part of the case with the trackpad... never tried.
The all screen assembly can be swapped between the two.

… “brownish transparent keys” yep, the so called ”bronze keyboard” … thats the one! I’ll give it a try.
Thank you!
