I was just combining replies. there are many companies in China who make reasonably good quality parts if you specify all the details correctly. I plan to have some CTIS keypads made and maybe some for the Wtec II and III they are very simple.
The dome switches are never soldered. They just sit there inside the adhesive coating that holds the membrane. My 94 LMTV with Eaton CTIS also uses tactile dome switches which are separate parts from the membrane. Nickle plated stainless, I have never seen them crack.
"More often than not what...
I doubt the actual switch would ever break, it is a metal key-pad dome switch under a plastic lighted holder. Just that the top membrane would let in dirt and water, very bad then.
No, but I may be able to get that as well, it just glues in and would be easy to replace with something else. The key pad requires a precut sticky tape thing that I have not gotten yet, will check on it Monday.
Anyone with a A0 have a faded and ugly display? The actual 1/16" thick panel is easily replaceable but just not available. I am making some if anyone wants them, cost will be determined soon but it is a not for profit thing.
