Title: [WTB] Australia | SA and DSA keycaps | To harvest stems
Post by: Cods on Thu, 22 October 2015, 02:22:59

Hi fellow Australian GHrs.

I need to do a bunch of spacebar modifications to allow them to fit FC660M stabilisers. For this, I need donor MX keycaps to harvest the stems from - I'll be using the epoxy putty method, which I've successfully used before.

The spacebar mods are to a variety of custom SA and DSA sets I have on hand, from three sets of DSA Granite, DSA Dolch, Calm Depths SA, multiple sets of Nuclear Data SA, through to sculpted SA like Retro SA and Modern Selectric SA.

Whilst I know the ideal situation would be to get one of Signature Plastics' crap bags for this purpose, I've given up on that approach, as they sell out too fast and cost more to ship than the actual product. I don't have any MX keycaps laying around that aren't parts of sets, either!

So, does anyone in AU have roughly 10x DSA 1U plus roughly 20x SA 1U keycaps that they'd be happy to sell me for the purposes of destroying them to get hold of the stems?

Cheers!
Cods

How did you get on with this? I am also looking for inexpensive keycaps, to harvest stems from. 
I need enough for a 117 key Cougar Attack 2 keyboard !

I'm in Brissie.

If you don't get any other offers, I've got a **** load of them from a previous SP crap bag that you can have.

You'd just need to give me a little while to dig them out.

Thanks Rowdy. No offers other than yours, I'm afraid.
I really appreciate the offer - I'll take you up on it if that's OK!
Let me get my excrement in one sock and detail what I'm looking for exactly.

No worries, let me know what you need.

I know what box they are in, it' just a case of getting myself organised to sort some out.
