I followed your advice till here and used a resistor wire bent into a small hook to poke around the hole behind the "1" key. Together with a drop of contact cleaner and followed by some compressed air spray this was enough to bring the key back to life without further disassembly. It is not perfect (right now it misses about one keystroke in five) but sufficient for me. I have a working HP-27 :-) Took me 20 years to find one that fits my budget...

Thanks again for the advice
