I'm not familiar with Archive Sound, so I have no idea about their status.

However, if the key bushings you need are for a Pratt-Reed keyboard
assembly, you can probably purchase suitable bushings from this company:

Don't be distracted by the word "organ." Pratt-Reed keyboard assemblies
were used by several companies. In fact, organ companies probably used far
more Pratt-Reed bushings than the synthesizer companies ever did. Organ
Service is in the USA, and their prices for bushings are very
reasonable--usually cheaper than most companies which cater to synths. They
can also sell you the special lubricant you need to use with the bushings.


good luck,
