I'm still trying to ascertain if my ribbon is going to 'come good', it's semi-functioning state being my reason to look into this. I certainly wouldn't intend on taking away any business from Kent, but I was just hoping to replace my possibly busted ribbon with the exact same component, gold plating and all that good stuff.
I'll let you know how it goes, I was thinking to just get 10 or so springs and take it from there. I spoke to a manufacturer last week and it seems feasible. I'm still trying to get a price on the gold plating.
cheers,
