8BitsNoneTheRicher Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Hi all, The SX-64 had been on my wish list for some time and I recently acquired one. It has a few "issues," one of which is that the keyboard had problems like many of them do. I replaced the keyboard membrane and all is well except that two of the keys are missing their tiny springs. I've been lurking on eBay for a few weeks hoping someone would be selling keyboard parts but that hasn't happened yet. I also need a couple of other doodads like the round caps for the handle. I see 3D printed ones on eBay but they don't seem to be quite the right color. Do any of you happen to have an SX-64 you're parting out? I'd gladly pay for a couple of key springs if you happen to have one. Alternately, if anyone knows of another source, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks so much!

8BitsNoneTheRicher Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 Believe it or not, they’re available from a bunch of sources including Amazon! Cost me a whopping $29. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8BitsNoneTheRicher Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 Fantastic! Be sure to watch a couple of videos on how to swap that membrane. The old one needs to be removed very carefully. Also you’ll have to remove EVERY KEY from the mounting plate, which is time consuming and a bit fiddly…and don’t lose the tiny key springs. Ask me how I know. 😬🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+evg2000 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Thank, I appreciate the tips. I’ll take my time, don’t want any damage, mine is in very good condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
