Sodick A280L / A320D Keyboard Cover

[Russ@EPP]

I am looking for a replacement keyboard cover for a Sodick A280L and A320D, they are identical to each other. The controls on both machines are the Sodick Mark EX. From the exterior the panel opening is 4.5" x 20.375". The keyboards are in fine working order, its just that the mylar/membrane protective cover is cracking and coming apart. I talked to Sodick today and they quoted a price of $362 each. Seems like alot of money for what it is. Is there an aftermarket solution?

Thanks,
Russ

We had the same model and ended up using self sticking labels cut to size and covering the entire keyboard with clear contact paper. $362 was more than my boss wanted to spend also.

It has held up well for 2 years, except the enter key has ripped again. Oh well, get out the contact paper.
