New CPC664 membranes available!

[Spirantho]

Today I tried the new RWAP Keyboard Membrane for the CPC664....


Success!

The membrane fitted perfectly, and looks just like the original (but probably will last a lot longer!)


Well worth £25 of anybody's money!

Excellent news - but I can see a problem...

It causes a syntax error !! 

[andyt31]

Yay! 


Just ordered mine.

Yes, but it adds a beautiful white glow around the screen, so that makes up for the syntax error.

"For just 25£" ... We know all that it's not cheap, but no choice today to get a 664 alive as short printing series have a cost. Thank you for doing that!


But the "JUST" is realy too much on the sentence.

@Bryce
Oi, stop taking the mickey, it was a quick photo to prove it's real.


@toto
£25 is actually very reasonable. Remember how rare the 664 is, so £25 for a specially made membrane? Not bad at all. And I'm not the bloke who's selling them.
So I stand by my "Just" and raise it with a "very reasonable"

[Bryce]

I even held back and didn't use my "Oh look, Halo for the CPC!" joke!

I think 25quid is quite reasonable too by the way.

Save that one for another day, I'm sure the time will come. It's because my TV is between me and the window where the sun (allegedly) is, so most of my photos look like a Gift from the Gods.

Sure, for a *** RARE *** computer, it's cheap...

If it will fit the 464 also, this should be stated, more sales, higher production quatities, lower cost for the second batch.

[Spirantho]

664 only I'm afraid. Otherwise we'd all be using 464 membranes to repair our 664s and we wouldn't need a new production run!

[RWAP]

I already started another thread asking if 464 membranes were needed...

There is of course 464 and 464+ - are they different?

Last time I asked tradeinpost.com had some 464 membranes

[Spirantho]

I don't think you need to worry about 464+/6128+ membranes (they're the same). I've not seen a faulty one and they're pretty rare machines, so I suspect demand would be rather low.
My own 6128+ did have a faulty keyboard, it's true - but the fault was with the motherboard socket, not the membrane itself. Luckily, the later cost-reduced CPC464 uses the same socket...

[Gryzor]

Damn, I did have a 664 with broken membrane, wonder if I still got it...

[RWAP]

Could someone update the page on the Wiki about keyboard membranes (as I still cannot register) - the wiki page says that they are not available.

Hey, why can't you register? What error do you encounter?

[RWAP]

I have just tried to register again and get the same error (I think).

I have posted details in teh Wiki Maintenance thread - Wiki down for maintenance

I think it translates to:

[Gryzor]

That's not the Welsh I remember from my Caerdydd days...

[Spirantho]

He's not from Wales.

And all for a pony hey? He's a diamond geezer!

[RWAP]

Gawd - if anyone else sends me a pony, I'll have to extend my stables!

Looks like the first batch of 22 have been sold.
So about 5~6 weeks to sell them all, was there any thought of another batch ?

Cheers,
