Get a confirmation from someone that Texelec works
on the Compact portable keyboards-
I think the last workshop I was at they were found to be too thin
for the design.
I agree the build quality of the pads looked really good though.
The Texelec probably would have worked on the R.S. Model II
keyboard I rebuilt.
I did a lowsy homemade job.
It works but was not pretty, may not last.
Good to know they did work on the 6000. I have a 6000 keyboard I
will probably have to do too.

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:

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.
