TexElec makes and sells replacement "foam and foil" discs for those keyboards.
See https://texelec.com/product/foam-capacitive-pads-keytronic/ . They are
usually shown as on backorder. The one time I ordered a set, they were on
backorder and arrived a few weeks after I placed the order. I

Hi Will,
Is the punch you received capable of punching 8-level tape? While the PDF on
Surplus Sales of Nebraska's site says the unit can punch 5- to 8-level tape,

I just use thermal fax paper that comes in rolls that are 8.5" wide and
(usually) 98' long. 100' or shorter rolls fit fine inside the Silent 700
terminals. That paper is still being made and is
I don't have anything for the DEQNA, but the cable info I've seen for DELQA has
the comment "this one would probably work for
a DEQNA, too." The document I grabbed from

I should have looked closer at the photos of the Silent 700/1200 I just
bought. There's a very clear auction photo that shows DIP switch 4 does
switch between "300 baud" and "1200 baud". Maybe it's the same for Marc's
1200 bps model 703.
Silent 700/1200 auction (ended):
I hadn't known about 1200 bps Silent 700s. I just found a TI Silent
700/1200 on eBay and it is now on its way to me. If I can figure out if/how
it can toggle between 300 and 1200 bps, I'll let you know.
Meanwhile, I can tell you that a manual I have for a model 703 says that

I found some more DEC MMJ crimpers that look pretty decent out there on eBay,
but they're not well labelled.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ideal-30-558-Crimp-Die-for-RJ-11-MJ-Modular-Plug-Crimpmaster-Tool-Frame-30-506/333697351548
$15 plus shipping new (2 avail) MMJ die for ideal crimp frame 30-506.
I've got a used Paladin ratcheting crimper handle with a new 2067 die. Works
great on my DEC MMJ connectors. So I don't need any of these very similar
looking kits that include dies that are labelled RJ11 DEC, DEC RJ11 MMJ, or
similar designations.
