Hej,
I'll still write in english so everybody will understand. 

I asked on 99musik.se about repairing a this Silicon Mallet and a Roland Octapad 2, and got a reply about some foil "pancakes" inside the Roland. 

And if Wolfgang is right the Silicon Mallet seems to use the same kind of pickups.

I haven't paid anything yet. First I will make this thing work, then I think I'll get a nice price. :) The owner doesn't use it anymore. Uppenbarligen.
