Default Rubber keyboard contact repair

Hi,

anyone geting good results rejuvenating worn keyboard contacts? I'm
talking the large ones you find on music keyboards, drum machines etc.
Particularly ones where you can't buy the contact rubbers any more

I once bought some liquid paint on stuff specifically designed to do this,
it was VERY expensive and didn't work.

I am in the UK if that makes a difference.


Cheers,


Gareth.




Years ago you should have started collecting the contact sheets from
scrapped (due to redundency rather than worn out) zappers etc. Then a matter
of cut and paste and some copydex or similar to keep in place. Legends won;t
match but a small price to pay for continued functionality for someone who
is so familiar with the kit he does not need the legends anyway
