Title: Foam and foil pad replacement
Post by: keyb_gr on Sun, 14 November 2010, 13:59:36

Found this while looking for ways to replace crumbled battery compartment door padding foam:
Making foam pads for an Apple LISA keyboard (http://www.vintageapple.org/Lukes_LISA_keyboard_repair.pdf)

(Suggestions for a more durable replacement for ~5 mm thick foam sheets are appreciated, btw. All the stuff has to do is keep batteries and corresponding compartment door from rattling around.)

I wonder if the foam pad/sliders from a Keytronic PC keyboard with rubber cups would work. If you want some, I could mail you a few.

Wouldn't aluminium tape work as well as that mylar + double-sided tape combo ?
