What does the framed flyer on the wall say?

Someone needs to donate that missing key.

Would be nicer if they got the old breadbox one

What part?  I spent my childhood in Indialantic and graduated from FIT.  Funny thing is, the last year at FIT, I lived in a house about a block away (East Lincoln Ave) from this museum.

Someone needs to donate that missing key.

So, in my lunacy I have just removed the said missing key and spring from one of my spare (and broken) 64c keyboards, written a polite note and popped them in a jiffy bag. I shall post it in the morning all the way across the pond and that machine shall be complete once again.

I must be mad

That is so cool. Many thanks for helping them out.

They need to have it powered up and put on a proper desk. Looks so confined on that little table.

So easy to knock over too I would assume :-(

That is so cool. Many thanks for helping them out.

No problem. I guess they should have it by now.

Got this email today :

Dear Mr. Taylor,

 

Thank you so much for sending us the key for our Commodore 64. We received it in the mail yesterday. We are a nonprofit organization with a museum who is always looking for ways to make this place better. We recently renovated the museum, so this goes perfectly. It was a pleasant surprise, and truly appreciated.

 

Thanks again,

 

Molly Tice

So for those of us outside the US, does that mean the liberty bell is there?

[Florida]

There is indeed a Liberty Bell there. It is a copy, made by the company in England who build the original Liberty Bell. Without the crack on the side though.
 
I am out of the state right now but I will check and see if they fixed it when I get back.
