Why this isn't one of the most popular analog sunths ever made, I just don't know. But I'll guess:
1. It's big.
2. No real-time monkey business without the pg800.
3. Not as aggressive as earlier analogs.
But the sound, my god...

The best analog with dco, this machine can make many type of analog sound, first the pads, and have a good midi and keyboard, in a modern studio is a best choice for have a good analog synth at a good price... On italy i have paid many money for this, because is hard to find...

The best analogue synth ever. Tons better than Jp8, pro 5, synthex and stuff from oberheim and moog. Big, meaty, beautiful and built to last for ever and a day, Sell the rest of' yer crap and buy thisen! Get the programmer though, just for added class.

Thanks Glen, that worked great. I appreciate the time you took to be so detailed in your description. The keys in question work fine now, except the last one I ended with, which was working before I started (I only lifted the rubber strip up partially while cleaning). Back to square one! This sucks because it's a key right by one of the two brackets just behind the keyboard where the springs seem to be VERY tricky to take on and off. Argh! I'll find a way though. I might as well clean ALL the contacts.
I'd like to add a couple of things on this operation for others that might want to try this. Firstly, after you remove the frame's screws, you have to unscrew the grounding wire (green) from the pitch bend lever before you are able to open the chassis enough to really do all this. Once you do that, the wire will slide through where it looks like it's still attached to the mechanism.
When reattaching the rubber contact strips I used a small nail to poke the rubber stumps back into their holes. I then used tweezers to help put the springs back on (and to take them off too). I'd imagine needle nosed pliers would work as well. Be careful with the springs as they can JUMP! I thought I lost a couple into the synth but learned my lesson and was able to still find them and retrieve them with the tweezers.
Also, as you take the keys out you will notice a clear plastic strip that lies just beneath the metal frame that the keys hang on. This strip is pulled off as you remove more and more keys. At first I was nervous about it, but it didnt affect the key feel at all now that it's back together and it's not an electronic part so I proceeded. It's actually what makes the keys hard to remove in the first place. Hmmm. I hope I haven't messed something up.
I'm glad I tried this, I've never opened a synth before. My thanks to Glen. Sorry in advance to folks that think this should have been in the gastation. And like Glen said, I hold no responsiblity for damaged items. It was tedious, fun and challenging. Cheers.

A dark, top flight beauty! The Steinway of polysynths. I've created the best Rhodes sound I've ever heard...totally by mistake. Like the programmer. You can work without it. What a quality item this is.
