Replacement legs for Filco, where do I go?
« on: Thu, 02 June 2011, 21:33:30 »
Accident with my Filco has left the legs/props broken, and I'm at a complete loss as to where to get replacements. Or are their other options for replacing them besides actual Filco bits?

I have asked Elitekeyboards before (about 1 year ago) but I never got around to ordering from him. He used to say that he did carry those replacement legs.

Would you mind asking him again and if he does, I would like a pair as well? (If I remembered correctly, shipping was a killer for international purchases for just some keycaps + replacement legs - about US$15).

Thanks!

Funny enough, I found your old thread through Google and it prompted me to send him an e-mail asking about them. Hopefully he does have some around or the ability to get a replacement set.

I really need to keep in mind that your posts generally aren't the answer people want. Though they are clever at times, but a cork on my Filco just doesn't quite seem right. Perhaps after the bottle of wine though...

Sometimes I need a different angle rather than the angle the keyboard leg can do. So I use a book with the right height, and it works fine.

I think you can do it the same way.

LoL - I lost one leg of my Filco during travel last year. I emailed EK and few months later, I got it in the mail.
Then few more months later, I found the original leg in a flat screen carrying box... Oups.

If you own Google or Facebook, I will gladly sell it to you for $2000 shipped overnight freight included.

I could go that option. Was thinking I could just pin them a bit and use some epoxy on the legs. I'd rather not epoxy the legs so they are fixed up, cause it makes travelling with the board a bit more annoying.
