Product Description
Never Replace the Disco Robo Tape Button membrane again! The Pioneer J-7 Disco Robo tape control panel membrane are degraded in almost all examples by now and need replacement. The original flexible membrane system might be OK for microwave ovens, but not a good system for durability. I have devised a new replacement system using "real" mechanical button caps and once installed, provides a quality replacement system that will last forever. The operational effort is light, and the buttons will give a nice positve click on actuation.
Other parts: This is only the top panel, 4 buttons are required to complete the system. The FF/RW buttons are the same, just install them pointed in the proper direction and you will need 2 of these. You will also need a Stop and a Play button. For a complete system, make sure you buy all the following parts:
Installation: Installation is simple. First populate the control panel with the switch cap buttons. The large bevel is the top edge. Test the fit and place over the the area where the original membrane (removed) is located. Operate all switches to ensure they work without intererence. If too tight, you might need to lightly sand the bottom edges of the switch caps. Once you are satisfied with the fit, Place tape over the panel and buttons to hold all the parts together so that the buttons don't fall out, then remove the assembly and flip upside down. Affixing the assembly to the top housing. Only the Disco_Robo_Tape_Button_Panel is affixed. You may do so with double stick tape (thin) or contact cement or whatever adhesive you choose. Make sure you do not glue the buttons into the assembly or they will no longer work. They need to be free in order to work properly. I affixed mine with a thin double side industrial tape. Remember that it does not need a lot of holding power. Certain types of glue may make it impossible to remove assembly in future.
