This is for a complete cleaning and repair of a Northgate keyboard, any model
and other brands that have Alps switches.

Would you like to have your Northgate look like the keyboards pictured below? I will disassemble your keyboard, clean the inside, wash keycaps and all plastic parts, test all key switches and replace if necessary. Your keyboard will look and act like new again. I can sometimes fix motherboards, but not chips, etc..

My work is guaranteed. If you have any problem in the first 30 days, ship it back and I will repair it, @ no charge for the labor, there will be a charge for any new parts needed. You pay the shipping to me and I will pay the return shipping.

                                                                Warranty policy update 06/28/03

         From 45 to 90 days, any switches replaced will be $5.00 each installed plus return shipping and packaging if needed.

        90 days to 180 days any switches replaced will be $10.00 each installed plus return shipping and packaging if needed.

The base charge for cleaning and repair is $55.00 for any model of Northgate keyboard, except Dvorak layout.  For Dvorak layout add $10.00   After diagnostics, if you decide against the repair, there will be $10.00 minimum charge.
If the repair is less than $25.00 the charge will be the minimum of $25.00
If a keyboard is excessively dirty like the before and after 102, there will be a $5.00 surcharge.
Any parts needed are an extra charge. Shipping is not included.
     I will ship back to you by Fedex ground insured. Shipping costs will be actual cost plus $4.00 for packaging / handling,
multiple keyboards are $2.00 extra for packaging.

Any keyboards repaired and not paid within 60 days of the repair will be considered
abandoned and will be sold for the repair cost.

I can make the following:

Internal cables for Ultras
Cord receptacle and internal cable for all removable cord OmniKeys

Programmable Northgates

If you have a programmable Northgate, a non dip switch model, I can clean it and replace switches. If it is locking up, it is caused by a bad Bios chip.  There is a fix, e-mail me and I will tell you how to fix the problem.

Your Northgate will work with USB, I have the adapters and cables in stock.
Not all USB adapters are compatible with Northgates and the new P4 computers.

PayPal or Credit cards accepted for payment.

The keyboard must be shipped to me packaged and insured. I will not be responsible for damage from shipping.
