Just got a lovely Unicomp set for my 4980 Model F. Not sure which way the stabiliser peg goes for the ISO Enter. Anyone got pictures? Thanks!

There is only one way it can go as one way the key will be extremely stiff and the other way will be nice and smooth.

Hope that helps.

That's what I mean - it will be extremely difficult to remove once it's in there.

You able to take off the Enter keycap on one of your ISO Ms and have a look for me? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Thank you! I did put it in that way, but the Enter key is a bit rattly. Hmm.

Yeah there's no way that's in properly. It binds if you hit it at the bottom.
