Editing Cherry M7 (section)

===M61-0120===
This appears to be the standard keyboard switch. According to the [[computer service manual findings|service manual]], it was the primary switch in the ADDS CONSUL 980. The switch depicted below is from a CDC IST II ca. 1981. Standard weight, tee mount, 0° stem corresponds to part M61-0120 (1979) and M73-0120 (1982) so the depicted switch could be either.

Notable design characteristics include:

*"CHERRY" legend inverted compared to M61-0100 above
*The slider is only capable of operating a single pair of contacts (SPST instead of the typical DPST-ready design)
*Distinct plate retention clips instead of raised areas of plastic
*The ridge around the slider aperture is set off by a clear gap

Also of note is the use of gold-coloured and copper-coloured materials for the stationary and movable contacts respectively, instead of the typical grey metals.
