To replace the key pad fascia we used some strong double sided sticky tape - this worked well and it a good way of controlling the adhesive to avoid spilling glue onto the keys.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum
Bought on eBay February 2013 for £12 plus postage. Faulty power supply due to a bad connection which we fixed. Also some of the keys didn't work and we traced this to a broken ribbon connecting the keypad to the motherboard. The trickiest job was to lever off the keyboard fascia as it is glued in place but the key pad then just drops out. Replacements are readily available via eBay.
