Hello Everyone. Thanks in advance for you opinions. I'm trying to repair some oddball keypads on a peice of equiptment. It's a TE1916 check encoder made by Standard Register.

The distributor quotes astronomical prices for the key caps and switches, so I wonder if there is a cheaper option.

Broken caps and switch:

Keycap set for 40 bucks: http://www.ebay.com/itm/222457991158

Individual replacement switches for 2 bucks each: http://www.ebay.com/itm/263027589557

Thanks Clickity!

SO it's an ALPS switch. Good to know. cheers.

you don't need to buy new switches because of the stuck key stems. the switches can simply be opened, and the broken off stems pushed out from the inside with a small screwdriver.
