Wanted - Keyboard overlay

Post by jackryan »

Hi All,

I am looking for a keyboard overlay for a ZX-81 or TS-1000. I am looking for the kind that converts the membrane keyboard into a chicklet style. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,

I have one which I could be persuaded to part with. It needs a little TLC as the plastic rivets holding it together have come loose in 2 corners, but overall it's in nice condition with little wear on the legends.

This is not my unit but it's the same type:

The thing works by poking a little nub down on to the membrane.

I wonder if the black plastic rivets used on the ZX80 would suffice as a replacement?

Looking at Mine, Rich, they seem more like part of the injection moulding that's Peened over at the end once the insides have been added rather than separate rivets.
