Wallstreet replacement keys?

I got a Wallstreet today but one key has its rubber dome missing, and replacing the whole key would probably be more effective than trying to get just a rubber dome...

Does anyone either have spare Wallstreet keys or know where I can get some?

 
Well that certainly helps.

I'm guessing there's nothing I can shove in there to fake the rubber dome?

Another donor laptop keyboard of similar size/era should let you replace the dome - cut it out with a scalpel/fine blade and use thin double sided tape to tape it down into the missing space.  I've done this before.  Another thing to try would be a small piece of foam.

 
Alright, I could certainly try foam.

I'm waiting on an AC adapter to make sure the thing works before I make any kind of further investment though. It might end up being a parts machine to upgrade another Wallstreet...
