MidStateVending Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 This question is a long shot, but does anyone ever use alpha numeric stickers for keypads that are aging, or flaking off? I was thinking this would be easier and cheaper than buying a new keypad. I'm looking for ideas of products and where to buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Are you talking about alpha numeric labels for the outside of the selection buttons as opposed to the overlay that goes behind the buttons? If so then that wouuld be foolish as nothng would protect the labels. If your buttons are hard to read then you need to replace the buttons and the overlay behind it for readability and longevity.

AZVendor Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 What imported piece of crap is that on? I think you should be replacing the whole machine instead of trying to keep something like that running, Gotta spend money to make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genesis Go-127.... 2 of them that I got for $100. But I know I can sell them better with a better keypad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTVFC Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Keypads run around $50. If you think you can flip them and double your $$, spend the $100. Easier to sell when it's fully functioning, and doesn't look patched up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to replace the keypads... it's like I need to cut through a metal plate that is welded into place. I may need to think about this more because you are right that it may look like a patch job in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 You probably do lol. Seems like they weld or solder everything into place to save money on manufacturing costs, which means their stuff isn't made to be repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
