I have recently acquired a DEC Vt100, in working order, but the keyboard is missing a few keys. Nothing important - mostly function keys on the numpad, but it would be nice to have it complete. I figured it was worth asking if any of the vintage aficionados here knew of a source for such things. Cheers.

You could always 3D print a few, assuming you can get/make a model for them.

Note: This would of course depend if the keys are all the same shape per row, as they usually vary in shape from row to row (surface angle, curvature of keyboard face, etc).

That would be plan B, certainly - I have one in each row, so a model should be feasible.

Max Burnett in Sydney runs the Australian Computer Museum, and is a former DEC employee.  Andrew Stewart in Melbourne has lots of old DEC hardware.  Please email me if you need contact information.  Either should be able to point you in the right direction.
