I was interested to see in Quanta the picture of the replacement membrane with strip leads. This is just what I have done, but with a standard membrane. Having found that the fault was in the leadout strips, and jumpered breaks by drilling holes and fitting fine wires with conductive paint, as more broke, I decided that the best way was to cut them off and fit strip cables in a similar way, the strip cable having the same pitch as the connectors on the main board. There seemed no point in putting another of the same pattern in. I've done several and they have been fine. I probably put a note about this in Quanta at the time. I have also got a Rainbow keyboard which came fitted to a QL; it just plugs into the connectors, and usefully sports a numeric pad. I don't know what is inside as it is rivetted!
