Lisa Keyboard Repair
Posted by: onabeach on 2024-04-20 12:00:57 I ordered a Lisa keyboard pad repair kit from an overseas eBay seller, but my order disappeared and there is no trace of the seller anymore. Does anyone know of a seller that can supply the repair pads? I could make them myself but would much rather buy a premade set.

Posted by: mactjaap on 2024-04-21 07:29:11 Ahhh. Ok I think this was the seller I tried on eBay and it got cancelled. Probably was not thier fault. the one I ordered my stuff isn’t around anymore. You can also make them yourself. You need foam and a bag of chips! The chips package can be used to make the Mylar contacts from. But buying them complete is more easy.

Posted by: mg.man on 2024-05-07 05:37:30 I think this was the seller I tried on eBay and it got cancelled. That's a shame. I ordered pads from that seller as well as some cleaning floppies. Everything came quickly and his comms were great - he even sent more pads than needed and an extra floppy cleaning sheet - so I have spares. I wonder if maybe he was just out of stock? Very surprised you were not alerted to any issue. Oh well.
