Denford Desk-Top Tutor membrane

[robertspark]

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to where to get / how to make membranes for the (later?) Desk-Top Tutor

Any suggestions as to who / which company may have made them in the first place?

Thanks for any time / guidance / suggestions.

Did think about just using an thick heat laminated sheet as a raf way of putting an expanded custom keyboard.

{I've not got into wiring it up yet, but the plan is to use it with my lathe Denford Orac, mill, router and plasma cutter via linuxcnc..... thats the pipe dream.... }

understand its a DB25 connector wired as RS-232
