The replacement works on microswitches and isn't at all similar to a membrane. Also, the availability of membranes would make my project redundant, and that would be a good thing. I am sure the Quanta guys would be willing to co-fund a larger run and hold membranes to ensure their supply well into the future. If these ones are as non-destructible as you say, they should solve the long-term problems too. Dave
