Interested in 1 set.
Can I use this with my C64 too ?
Then I am interested in 2 sets :)

Confused. You pmed me about behr-bonz stickers. You want stickers or springs ??? Anyway I am using post.de and charging only what it costs me. You can see by the weight. 33 per spring set and a few grammes more for stickers is under 500g

You can use in the c64 breadbin for sure. The C64C might have different dimensions. I am not sure.

Payment received from @donchaos & @eslapion . I will post tomorrow or the weekend depending on when your Behr-Bonz cartridge stickers arrive.

Last 2 sets reserved for @turabe PM replied to and waiting payment. Another order is already on the way to me from China (could be here in 1 week or 6 --- who knows)

@turabe cancelled, 2 sets available for immediate dispatch

Just got mine!

They look exactly as if they were taken from a brand new C64/VIC-20 keyboard. Perfect match!

Well I can guarantee that they are brand new, but I gave my specifications to the spring manufacturer based on 'real breadbin' VIC20 springs. Suprisingly (for me) they got it right 1st time (wire type and thickness, spring length, spring width, pitch distance and the number of turns at each end).

Still no sign of the 2nd batch. Patience is needed.

Update

Apparently the new spring sets were delivered today. I will need to do a quick quality check before taking orders.

So the factory ballsed up the order, each set has only 64 key springs - the slightly longer space bar spring is missing. I have complained, I don't suppose I will get a comprehensible reply or the missing springs delivered soon. I will contact you all to see if you want to proceed without a spacebar spring - or will wait a few more weeks.

It's worse than I thought. They only sent SPACEBAR springs (longer) and not key springs. The factory have admitted their mistake and will EMS me my order. Hopefully next week I'll have them.

So springs arrived. They will need to EMS me the space bar springs again. I now have 650 spacebar springs that do fit and work, but are 1mm narrower than I specified.

I have enough to post to:

2x @jsundh

and pending payment to:

1x @corigon
1x @cryton

Payment sent! (with note)

Got it, will pack up tonight and post tomorrow.

Actually I could have posted today, but with all the issues I need to double check there are 64 keyboard springs in each pack now.

Bumping thread. Several sets are available.

I just realized these keyboard spring are good with C16 keyboards too. Let people know!

This is correct, I guess all 'breadbin' style keyboards are the same. You can also use in C64C, but the size is slightly different from the original

I still have plenty of brand new keyboard springs there.

Quick question, I know in the first post you say it is not a 1:1 fit replacement for C64C, but do they function perfectly, or maybe are hard to fit? Thanks!

It will fit and work 100%. They C64C keyboard springs have less turns only. Please see picture comparing original C64C on left and new on right.
