of the 4 machines i have worked on 3 needed new caps.
[mine was not, thankfully, one of them]
they are surely the single most common item in need of replacement,
second only to... maybe tapes? [a far more costly commodity]

i don't think people would be willing to pay more than... say $5 US for
a replacement cap. but i do think $5 US would be resonable to most folks.
[perhaps $6 US with a shipping fee included]

at that price i would order a spare just to have one around.

could they be made for less than that?

anyone else have a price point they would find reasonable?

what would you consider an UN-reasonable price?
i think $$10 US would just be too hard to justify.

my two cents, or as much as $6.
