Radio Shack used to sell the PC version of the 3/60's mouse.  I used
this to my advantage a year or two ago when I was in exactly the 
same predicament as you:  I walked on in and ordered the mouse pad
as a spare part.

Cost me $10, but that's cheaper than the $300 or so that Sun wanted 
for a new keyboard :-)

Type-4 and Type-5 keyboards and mouses will work on 3/60's with the
right adaptor plug, too:  They have the same signals, just coming out
on a different connector.  The adaptors cost some unearthly amount
from Sun, but can be made for about $5 with a DB-15, mini-DIN,
10 centimeters of cable and 3/60 and SPARCstation manuals.
