WTB - A1200 keyboard membrane

thgill · 07 April 2011, 17:14

Looking for an A1200 keyboard membrane with good condition ribbon cable. The contacts on my ribbon cable have went bad and a whole row of keys no longer respond. Thought about cutting it down and peeling back the coating to expose fresh contact but don't want to take a chance on killing it. Partial working keyboard is more useful than a dead one!

I have sent an email to Amigakit a couple days ago but haven't heard back. Also checked eBay and see only entire keyboard mechanisms. Sent a message to Airey36 and received back a nonsense response not relating to my question. haha

Also looking for an eject button for an A1200 Chinnon floppy drive. I thought the drive was bad, but under further testing it appears to be fine. However the eject button is MIA.

Sorry- we dont have any membranes left- but we have brand new US A1200 Keyboards here: http://www.amigakit.us/product_info.php?products_id=560

I considered it, but with shipping the price is just very expensive. I would have to order several other things to make it worthwhile...

Also, your floppy drives for the A600/A1200 - when you install them does their button line up correctly in the desktop case? I could just order another drive, providing it looks proper when installed.

Yes the buttons line up correctly.

Tell me all the items you want and we can work out the lowest possible shipping price deal for you as you are a long-standing customer.

US or UK keyboard, floppy drive, case screws and do you sell the A1200 cases by themselves? Mine is a little marked up with some yellowing and if I was putting a new keyboard in the machine, might as well replace the case as well.

We keep the brand new A1200 cases for our refurbished Built To Order Amiga 1200s.

We can upgrade you to FedEx Priority shipping and discount the shipping rate. Special rate FedEx shipping would be $18.60 for the items you have indicated.

BTW: we also stock brand new A1200 plastic feet (white) now: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/...oducts_id=1017

Ok, so how do I go about getting the special shipping rate via the website? I added a keyboard, floppy drive, case screws and floppy drive cable to my cart.

Special rate is now active for the next hour. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the order- in another thread I noticed you needed 4x hex screws for your recently purchased A600 - did you want us to include them in the package (no charge)?

thgill · 07 April 2011, 23:44

Recently purchased A600?

Thats news to me!

Haha no A600 here, perhaps another member?

Anyways, thanks for the awesome shipping deal.
