I've had good luck with Apple Lisa's, Processor Technology Sol-20s, Dynalogic Hyperions and a TRS-80 model II keyboard. I make my own with weather stripping (sticky on one side), two sided tape and silver gift wrapping (mylar). I would re-use the original plastic disk (after cleaning them up) or I cut out overhead projector transparancies if I had to. It is a chore but I made hundreds once and am almost out now.
