Rather than round pads, there are "strips" spanning across the lower end of the plastic "rod" that's pushed down on keystrokes. I'd be interested in buying either the conductive "strips" or the whole element (rod with strip). They might possibly be still used in some modern keyboards. > Oh, okay, that type. The only one I've had to clean/fix thus far is referred to by some page as "Type 2" and that has round contacts... http://blog.retroleum.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/0001_type2.jpg But yeah, the other contacts can be a bit more difficult to find. Unless you get big round pads and cut them to size, or something. That site sells keyboard parts, but they're all salvaged, so the condition is "tested working" but naturally not like new. https://www.retroleum.co.uk/c64-keyboardReceived on 2018-10-12 15:01:00
