Success!
I have gotten the keyboard to work, and so far it seems to be staying that way. My stiff bristle brush treatment to keyboard once I had removed all the keycaps seems to have done the trick. I put it on top of one of my PCs overnight to dry and I couldn't be happier with the results.
That problem solved, it's just down to the simple stuff of course. That rust is still a bit on my mind, but the amount is small, so I should be able to cope with it.
I managed to bend the RCA Out supports close to where they should have been, and the jack is certainly more stable. It still makes me feel a little touchy around it but if worse comes to worse, I believe I can fix it using some wire instead of this stiff pin system that currently is in place.
I did manage to find a small site that hosts the .dsk images for the ProDOS and DOS 3.3 system disks. I'm going to have do to some looking to find out how to use all of it, and getting some things to use the mouse, etc. Hopefully once summer school is out I'll have time to dig around =]
I'd like to thank everyone for all the help and advice. I sure hope this machine keeps working like it is atm =]
