Good luck getting the replacement keys -- ALPS makes them especially for 
Apple, and you can only get them through an Apple dealer. (I know, I used 
to be a service technition, and was able to purchase them from my boss.) 
Unfortunately, unless you happen to have a friend who runs an apple 
service department, your chances of getting the keys are slim. (One dealer 
wanted $15 each!! Another said that they wouldn't be able to fix it and 
asked for $130 for a new keyboard.)

See the January, 1989 issue of MacTutor for one way to handle the problem.
