Sam Coupe Keyboard Membranes

rwap

Does anyone have any ideas of the size of the Sam Coupe market?

I have investigated the possibility of getting some replacement keyboard membranes made for the Sam Coupe, but unfortunately, even if I order 100 membranes, the cost to sell them at would have to be ?25 each.

I know there is a market for the membranes, but there does not appear anyway of guaging the market.

It's good price :-)
I need 4 new membranes. Some my friends also....

To be honest - before I had my "SAM In A Can" - I invested in a PC keyboard interface anyway, as much as I loved the SAM Keyboard - because of desk heights - it wasn't always easy to type on.

But 25 quid is not a bad price if you can get enough people to order them for spares I guess.

I could use a couple, I had also checked many years ago to see if I could get them made. It was going to be about the same price I think. Have you checked for a manufacturer in Poland perhaps?
I seriously doubt you'll be able to sell 100...

I have actually found a manufacturer in Scotland that can equal the Polish manufacturer for price and has a minimum order of only 50, so I may just go for them (presuming the price doesn't alter when they see the samples)!

Well they can always join the queue :-)

Or, they can wait until the membranes arrive and get them within a few days of ordering!
