Simius Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 New keyboard mylars for Atari 65/130XE are already available. The mylars are basically intended for the keyboards with the rubber caps (CO70015-002,003,004). The price is $15. You can contact me (from the Europe) or MacRorie (from the US) or find us on ebay. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox-1 / mnx Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 It sure is. I was afraid I had to switch to PS2 solutions to get thing working again but this is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Hello Simius, guys Are these the single layer or the dual layer mylars? Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Bloody well done, and a VERY nice cost. Almost wish I needed one now. Have a couple XEs in storage, probably need to fire them up and text 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox-1 / mnx Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Received mine. Really a no-brainer. Remove keyboard screws, open it, put mylar in place, put back the screws, done. A perfect fit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+tf_hh Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Hi, reveiced also today my order. Thanks, Simius! Good quality, good fit, fine work. Jurgen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 So Marlin (MacRorie) will have these? Cool! I'll have to add one to my next order from him. I've got a 130XE that's got about 3 broken traces on the Mylar last time I looked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Hello Robert Really a no-brainer. Remove keyboard screws, open it, put mylar in place, put back the screws, done. That is if you put the small screws in a place where they can't go very far. Otherwise, ordering (and receiving) a metal detector before opening the computer might not be a bad idea.

Fox-1 / mnx Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) I often had XE keyboards suddenly becoming unresponsive because too many of the screws just fell out. That's what happens when you drag that stuff to parties across Europe over and over again. Never lost a single screw. Always found them somewhere on the PCB. A recipe for disaster that just never seem to happen. Edited April 28, 2018 by Fox-1 / mnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+tf_hh Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hi, can anybody sent some pictures using this mylars with the screws for the Mitsumi keyboard? Actually I have no plan how to do it, maybe I´m brain-blocked only... Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juansolo Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Another happy customer. I replaced a couple today, one of which had had multiple repairs, so it was lovely to fit brand new ones. Simple job, work perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suspicious_milk Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 NICE! I'm ordering a few of these. I don't even need any, all my XE keyboards work, but just for preventative maintenance. Are these higher quality than the originals? They look to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the brewing academy is considering it. A mylar for 600/800xl type 4 keyboard.It is a very common keyboard, I hope it will happen.
