Hi,

I know that recently a batch of 664 membranes were made up. Does anyone know of a supply of plus membranes? I am getting tired of the delete keys not working on both of my 6128 pluses and is replace both of them and a spare or two of I could find a supply.

Trade-in-post in Shiffnal used to stock them, but as there is no reply to emails I guess he is out of business now, his stock lists have not been updated online in years.

Many thanks

Have you tried 'phoning him?

We should ask @RWAP, who made all the other great membranes. Maybe he could do a plus batch?

I am not the only one who has plus's with failing keyboards. Everyone seemed to think it was strange.

Strangely they don't seem to fail like the 664 membrane does, where failures can happen on any key. The plus keyboards seem to mainly fail just on the DEL key which due to it being alone on that particular row doesn't affect any other keys.

I find that the delete goes, followed by the Ctrl, shift, ESC combo on the left.... Odd because those 3 still work independently of each other

Either that or plus owners a are shockingly bad typists and wear the delete key out!

Certainly the case for me

I got a Plus too, no key ever fails. Well, I touch them gently though.

Trade in post is definitely still going, I bought a copy of switchblade from him a month ago! That was via email (john at tradeinpost). It took a day to get a reply, but that's not too long. Put an obvious subject (mine was "buy switchblade cartridge"), as maybe it went to spam?

Right, recently I bought couple of Carts. It works.  :)

Edited that email address, no need to offer it to email harvesters...
