Now that I'm signed up for this months workshop I was hoping to get some tips on how to properly prepare (supplies needed, ect..) ... From my research I'm going to go ahead and assume the capacative pads for for the keyboard are bad and just order a new set.
In case you haven't already found them, I highly recommend the keypad replacements from Texelec: https://texelec.com/product/foam-capacitive-pads-keytronic/ She does a really nice job on them. I replaced the pads in a Tandy 6000 keyboard with them. I've tried making my own foam pads, but had inconsistent results. One batch worked fine in a TRS-80 Model 2 keyboard, but the next batch hardly worked at all in the Tandy 6000. At $24.95, the Texelec pads are hard to beat.
