Hello Rich,

I was looking for your info when I saw this post on the list - I have
bought replacement membranes for both my ZX-81 and QL computers, I will
stand about the high quality of the items you offer as they were a perfect
fit and with a clearly superior build than the originals, my aging
Sinclairs have an extended lease on life :-)

Question for the list members who may be more familiar with the CoCo
membranes lay out: Are the CoCo 2 & 3 membranes the same layout throughout?
The CoCo 3 has the two extra F1 & F2 pads, if that's the one difference
could a possible run of membranes be laid out so it would be a one size
fits both CoCo models? What about the CoCo 1's layout?
