Title: Can you use tape as a stabilizer holder?
Post by: snarfarlarkus on Mon, 05 October 2015, 20:50:04

Hi guys, my  omnikey 102 wit blue alps has one stabilizer holder thing lost on the spacebar. I cant use the spacebar without it obviously so I am just asking you guys what I could use instead of the stabilizer holder? Maybe tape would work? Cheers

Also, how do I take out the stabilizer holder out of another key? Such as the numpad enter. Thanks!

They just pull out of a rectangular hole with needle-nose pliers. But, as I remember, the spacebar ones have longer "mouths"

If you are talking about the ones built into the key. The hold-downs in the front plate are all the same.

For postage to Oz I will send you a few. PM me.
