Same here.
Pay attention when installing them; look at how they're molded and how the old ones are installed, There is an "up" side and a "down" side.

I have used these:

For $25. plus shipping and an evening's work, they made my P-R keybed work like new. Really quiet.

If I had it to do again, I would not order them pre-lubed, I think the silicon grease slows the keyboard action down more than is really necessary.

Regards,
Mike

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some Pratt-Reed keyboard spares. Those little rubbery "greased" caps that fit underneath each key and sit on top of the dog-legged actuating arms. I've got quite a few that are split and would like maybe find a second hand unit to take these bits from...

Anyone have anything like that please?

Cheers,
TOM
