Hi,

I have a very old synthesiser where the top panel rubber contact switches no
longer work, because the owner has removed the contact strips.

This is the synth:

The contact rubbers are pretty much 10cm x 10cm x 10cm cubes, but they have
a rather large contact footprint.
The corresponding PCB contact gap between the two lands that need to be
bridged is also rather large.

So, I am looking into the possibility of replacing the missing buttons by
cannibalising a somewhat more contemporary keypad that has extra large
contacts.

Here's a typical example I found at Farnell. It might be possible to cut it
up and glue it to the keyboard and make things work, if the contacts are
large enough.

Anyone any such experience here?

I know it's a long shot.



Cheers,


Gareth.
