Gentlemen,
I know I am not the only one in this group to have difficulties with weak
tactile switches on Racal-Dana's 1991/2/6 range of counters. The other day I
talked to the chief technician at Rosenkranz-Elektronik which is one of the
biggest surplus suppliers in Germany.
He knew the problem
Just a thought:
On some equipment, the push-buttons are formed by a rubber mat which is
shaped into domes with or without plastic buttons above.
If you sacrificed an old calculator it might be possible to cut the rubber
mat into individual buttons of a size suitable for refurbishing the Tokos
I know its a hack but I used a small pcb switch and use
a sawn off knitting needle when I wish to press one
of those buttons.

I ordered break-out board, PSU and manual online, they shipped it and
got it to me within days. It's not terrible. Pricey, yes,

I'm not convinced of that. There has been substantial discussion of
Racal switches on the list in the past, and I suggested at one point
that the failure mechanism (dry, cracked rubber) could be related
to the
