I need a momentary button switch (a reset button) that can solder into one of these through-hole pairs, more often used for jumper pins. I can't find any with simply through pins - such buttons always have the rounded fin connectors with an in-bored hole.

Anyone know where I can find such a button? Thanks.

Does the very first batch of Atari ST have the type of keyboard which has million springs jump out if you take the keyboard backplate screws out?

I have one with a broken esc-key and I'm wondering what approach to take to repair it. The key has physically snapped the cross-shaped thing that holds the keycap in place.

EDIT: I'm starting to think it was those rubber pads that can fall out, it's been around 40 years since I saw that to happen, but I haven't opened an ST keyboard after watching my dad fumble it and spread what I assumed to be springs all over the floor.
