FINALLY !
After eight months, I’ve finally got the rubber cork, and I’ve made the first set.
For comparison, the 6th pad on the right is my worn/dirty original.
Don’t worry they’re perfectly round – it’s only the shadow that makes them look oval.
The 5150/5160 pads are 1 5/8” dia & 1/8” thick, and the keyboard pads are 1” dia & 1/16” think.
They’ve got a 3M industrial adhesive backing, so you just peel the paper off the bottom, and stick them where you want.
With an alternate supplier of rubber cork than originally planned, it cost me more than I had figured.
The rubber cork also weighs more than I figured, so postage costs more.
Those that previously PM’d me wanting a set, will get their set of five of each size for the $ 2.50 originally mentioned. I’ll send PMs to those people shortly.
For anyone else now wanting a set, the cost will be $ 3.50 (incl postage in the US), and it’ll be for a set of four of each size. Like I said before, I’m not out to make money on this, I just want to cover my costs, which I’m “hoping” I’ll be able to do with the revised price.
After I get the previous orders out, I’ll probably put them on the VCF Marketplace.
