too-thick keytops

[Michael Spalding]

Tony,

If I had been involved in the keytop replacement, or if the owner wanted to
replace the sharps, yes, OK.  However, I'm just the unlucky/unobservant guy
trying to tidy up the last guy's mess with minimum fuss.  Good to know
about Vagias thickness.  thanks

Mike
