Sacrificial Sun Type 4 keyboards are the easiest solution. The pads are ready to just pop right in to your Tandy keyboard, no gluing, etc necessary. Every Sun keyboard I’ve opened have had very good foam pads. I suspect it’s a combination of younger age and better quality foam.
But the Sun enthusiasts will hate you. :)

So, for someone who desperately needs to rebuild Model 2/12/16 keyboards and is not prepared to cut out discs by hand, what do I buy?

Yeah, not sure I want to kill a Sun KB to rob discs.
And, Mike L., I knew about the Texelec, but I saw in here folks saying they don't always work. I read the thread linked and it looks like Sara has been refining the product, so perhaps the issues are gone?

After reading the whole thread linked, it seems the materials of the original discs are now known: Its a thin layer of mylar, with a layer of aluminum deposited on top of it, and another layer of mylar deposited on top of that. -- Jonathan Gevaryahu jgevaryahu@gmail.com jgevaryahu@hotmail.com
