The foil-and-foam Keytronics keyboard required a complete rebuild (disintegrating foam), and a Sun Type 4 keyboard was sacrificed to provide replacement pads.
I have done the same steal pads to fix another keyboard since I didn't have the time to make them myself. If you hadn't heard about them this place sells ready to go pads. I bought a set to fix the donor but haven't tried them yet.

Has anyone figured out a material which can be used to replace the original aluminized(?) paper discs from keytronic keyboards? The foam I know (vaguely) what type it originally was. I have four of them here (one kb3270 and three victor 9000 keyboards) where the foam has turned to goo and corroded away most of the metal on the discs, so I don't think they can be re-used. -- Jonathan Gevaryahu jgevaryahu@gmail.com jgevaryahu@hotmail.com
