Rich - 
    The Microswitch division of Honeywell makes a large number of membrane
keyboards.  From numeric keypads to full computer-type keyboards.  Your
local Honeywell sales critter should be able to help.
    I also have info on a firm in Buffalo that makes a variety of keypads
into which you can insert your own key legends. We had them make one for us
that could be back-lit with an electro-luminescent lamp for the darkroom.

    I've got the day off today and I'm writing this from home, so I don't have
the info at hand.  If you need the info fast, or I can help you in any way,
send me email with a FAX number, and I will zip it off to you.  I have some
Microswitch data sheets, and I'm pretty sure I can get info about the Buffalo
firm (I think their name is Tapecon, but unsure.)

Happy Huntimg
