[sdiy] Chemtronics Rubber Keypad Repair Kit, was: Roland JP-6 / juno 60 LFO trigger button

[Bob Weigel]

Florian and all.  I am almost ready to deliver materials...I actually 
just got in the first production today!  I just have to  install the 
contacts in another polysix and give it a good test to make sure nothing 
funny happens with the new way they are punched out (ie. the adhesive 
not holding for some reason)  But this material is AWESOME!  You can 
reface old contacts with material I'm having manufactured that has been 
fairly rigorously tested now.  Excellent conduction characteristics just 
like the original contacts.  And extremely stable materials.  Very thin 
so that it can be faced between the .015" or so gap in most contacts 
with no problem.  I'm figuring something like 40.00 per 61 key set. -Bob
