[sdiy] JX-8P with unweighted keys?

[Doug Terrebonne]

To clarify, Roland used the same key for the Jupiters/Junos/JXs. Some had metal weights glued to the underside (JX-10/Alpha Juno-2) and some were unweighted (JP-6/JP-8/Juno-60/106/JX-3P). The question is what they used in the JX-8P. I've only seen weighted ones but it sounds like some JX-8Ps had the unweighted version.
