RE: [PolySix] Polysix key contact replacement

2010-12-02 by backshall1 (dsl)

Yes, these are the contacts from Bob at SoundDoctorin. I've had good luck
with Polysix contacts with just isopropyl alcohol, but I have one of those
Juno D's with the notorious contacts that just won't clean up and I used a
set of Bob's stick-on contacts on it. That was in May, and it's still
working perfectly. They are very thin and the adhesive is even thinner, so
there wouldn't be much to clean up if you had to remove them, although I
don't know why you would want to.

Not sure if this has been discussed on here before, but it looks like a
worthwhile solution. This fellow says he has material made for/by NASA that
he's using to overlay onto his Polysix contacts (and any other keybeds that
use the same type of dome contacts...there's a list in the video write up).
He says that they have the same properties as the original material and that
they work very well. Just wondering if anyone's tried these. I'd really like
to give them a whirl cos I'm really sick of my contacts constantly going on
me.

My only concern is that if these things fail and you have to remove them (or
if they fall off), you'll be stuck with this sticky goo from the 3M adhesive
he's put on the material so it'll stick to surfaces.

Aside from this, what else is recommended? Rubbing Alcohol/isopropyl? Light
sand paper? Erasers (which I find only lasts a few days/weeks? I was told
that lighter fluid is good to clean the bus bar and J wires of my Prophet 5.
Would that work on the Polysix type contacts too?

Thanks!
