Amiga 500 replacement/matching keyboard springs?

[Astral]

I am reconditioning an Amiga 500 keyboard. I was putting the springs back in and then all of a sudden...gone! One spring. Damn!

I measured the originals at 14mm long x 4.8mm wide and the spring tensuins feels very "light" and sensitive to touch. Does anyone know where I can get a set? A compatible set? Cherry springs looks similar. What does the "g" rating mean? Will they suit?

I could have sent you some but I assume postage for such a small item would be a killer.

I think that idea might be sensible if you are able and willing to. Yes, for some springs the cost is to be considered. But to get the known correct springs might be a much better idea than "guessing" and "trial and error" of perhaps slightly different springs. If you could spare 5 or 10 for example that would be great. I managed to have a stuff up and lose another while putting the parts away.

Perhaps we can PM/setup a for sale thread and so on?

I'd suggest creating a Wanted thread and that way we can keep it official and you never know someone a bit nearer may be able to sort you out

I'm willing to send you 10 for the cost of postage

Okaley that's a grand idea ?. I'll do that now.
