This will seem like a digression, but it's not. I have a SOL & Helios pair on E-Bay right now (if you are interested, hurry, it ends tomorrow): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5112120888 If you read the auction, I discuss the keyboard issue at length and in the set of 12 photos for the auction I even took a photo of a keyboard being rebuilt. I'm surprised that no one asked me where I got the foam pads. Anyway, they came from: Mike Stephens Mil-Key Corp. m-corp(a)qwest.net You can buy a new PC (cordless) keyboard for what it will cost you to rework a SOL keyboard (or any other Keytronic keyboard using these pads), but as far as I know it's the only source. HE SAYS THAT WHEN THE CURRENT SUPPLY IS GONE, THERE WILL BE NO MORE, ****EVER****. AND HE SAYS THAT IT'S ALMOST GONE. You can see a photo of the pads in the SOL auction above. They are different from (and, I'm hoping, superior to) both the original pads and the later ones used in the Sun keyboards.
