Re: foam pads. was: Successful keyboard jack repair

well, I just took my calipers and measured some still springy objects. there was not much variation in the thickness, but of course this could be a later (around 1983) production run, as this specific one is used in the Holborn 6100.
in this setup the pad sits just slightly above the three white corner pieces of the key plunger.

I will try to make some pictures next time I am at our space.
