[Electronics-talk] Electronics-talk Digest, Vol 82, Issue 18

Tue Feb 19 18:29:55 UTC 2013

Thanks for all the responses.  I found a Whirlppool (under the cabnet)
with a textured key pad. Yay! It was what I was looking for.  I had to
buy it from a local company.  Lowes, Sears, and Home Depot didn't have
anything.
