Maybe you have what happened to my Ti-500 about 3y ago.  The 
retaining lug on the inside of the space bar broke, and so the spring 
mechanism did not work properly, meaning that at one end of the space 
bar it worked (=gave a space), at the other end, it did not.  I got a 
new space bar for $12 from a supplier of keyboard keys 
http://www.pbparts.com/.  All recorded in the Ti archive.....
