It's possible to repair your selector pad. The  interior of it makes a grid 
pattern. Selecting a kit involves pressing two lines  together to complete 
the circuit at one of sixteen points. When hairline cracks  develop in these 
lines, adjacent intersections don't connect as they should  causing 
intermittent connections or none at all.
    
    Also, the multi-EPROM cards are utilized by using  the resonance of the 
filter as a selector. Don't quote me; I haven't used my  quad-EPROM card in 
years. But, you don't need a dual output pad to use a  multi-EPROM card. In 
fact, a dual trigger pad wasn't manufactured by Simmons  until '86 (SDS-9), 
or so, other than the cymbal they made for the SDS-V. 
    
    As for additional cards, I may have what you need.  Contact me off list 
for those.

Folks, I'd like some extra cards for my SDS7. Currently I have the standard 
 bass, snare, 3 toms and hi hat. Ideally I'd like an extra 3 tom cards and 
one  of those double snare cards (do I need a special pad for that snare 
card?)but  failing that would be open to whatever anyone has go to offer. I'd 
also like  another selector pad as my current one is slowly dying and best 
thus l that I  get another selector pad as a backup.

Looking forward to hearing from  you.

Thanks & regards,

Rob.
