[sdiy] Speaking of polysix's..Solution to Rubber CONTACT FAILURES!

[Bob Weigel]

I tried the paint.  It works a lot of the time but i had a few bad 
experiences; mostly because of not being able to get the paint to lie 
flat enough I think...

I'm having material sent soon hopefully to try out for the *CONTACT 
ISSUES* though folks. 

I have a solution finally it appears....  That will allow *easy* (ie. 
w/good eyes/hands repair a 61 key unit in an hour or so) and *reliable* 
rennovation of all non-torn rubber bubble contacts!  I've tried it on a 
polysix I have here.  And it works but I've asked for an upgrade to the 
material spec to make for a longer lasting solution.  ie. I'd like them 
to last at least as well as the originals.  20 more years of life 
hopefully or more.

Anyway just wanted to let you guys know first.  OB-8's, Memorymoog's, 
all poly's, DW's and most Kawai, Roland, and maybe some Yamaha products 
will benefit from this.  Don't spread the word just yet but I'm pretty 
confident we'll have a supply of material to properly reface the 
contacts in short order here.  -Bob
