If I get some positive responses I will dig the units out and provide
part numbers. This equipment is very old but was working until the
touch pad buttons quit responding. May need some caps but that is
another story.

The touch pads are like those microwave buttons. Some sort of plastic
over plastic layers that when you push on them they depress a little
and make some sort of connection to perform its function.

I doubt that these panels are still available, so is there a way to
recondition or whatever?

**You need to tell us which models you have. In general, without knowing
CRITICAL information, it can usually be said that behind the plastic
sheet are micro-switches, which may still be available from third party
suppliers.

Do you mean that the overlaying plastic has lost plasticiser and gone
rigid over time?
