Default How does touch

Look up the manufacture of your exercise bike. Most likely, if they still
exist, they can sell you new parts. If not, then you may not be able to find
replacement parts. In that case, call around to some of the service people
who repair these exercise bikes, and maybe they can sell you a substitute
part, or have a way to fix your problem.

Hi,

I have an old Schwinn stationary exercise bike which has rubber buttons on
the console for timer, speed etc. The buttons stopped working and taking
out the button, I found the buttons are basically made of rubber with hard
plastic core which presses against the circuit board. There does not seem
to be metal contacts on the buttons. The circuit board has small finger
like' structures from two terminals which are interlaced where the button
makes contact. How do these things work. Can I purchase replacement buttons

I am sure the manufacturer does not have replacement parts for this old bike
and I would hate to throw the whole bike away because of the defective
buttons.

TIA for any help.
