hey everybody. i’m lining up parts to use in my SEQ, and my heart’s pretty set on using these keycaps ( - the “industrial” ones down the bottom, see picture here) so i don’t have to write the button-functions on the front panel itself. i can’t, however, find any switches to suit them; the connector-thing is a + shape (check out the pics in the link and you can see them ok). only switches with those connectors that i’ve seen are in my commodore 128D keyboard, and i don’t really wanna take that apart :-. does anybody know where i can get switches like this?
thanks everybody
PS - i spose while i’m at it i should ask my other parts-related question: are there any orange-backlit 2*40 LCD screens out there that can be used in the SEQ?
You don’t have to buy the caps, you can have 'em for free from me. I bought caps from x-keys too and they first sent me the wrong ones, the ones you want. Since it was their fault and sending them back from Switzerland to USA would have gone on their account, they offered me to keep them for free (excellent service by the way).

PS: If you want them and you’re from USA, I can send them to SmashTV, together with the fader bulk next week.
Here’s some Pics of my LCD display altered from green to orange as noted in my last posts.
The orange isn’t as strong in the pic as in reality, I used flash on the camera and this seems to go through the screen and bounce off the green backlight diminishing the effect. I’ll post another without flash and try to capture the true effect some
hey jorge, your screen (and the rest of your SID) look great!! very very cool. the reason i was (and still am) interested in an orange-backlit lcd was because i plan to build my SEQ into an old C64 case, so we must think alike
(excellent service by the way).
