[sdiy] Pro-one keyboard upgrade

[klosmon]

There were two keyboards used on the Pro-One --
the original units used a j-wire keyboard similar to the Prophet 5 
(which requires the oft-mentioned bushings);  after around serial number 
8000 or so, they switched to a universally despised membrane keyboard, 
with cheap action and plastic membrane contacts which wear out & are 
impossible to replace.

First thing  you should do is determine which one you have -- if it's 
j-wire, it should be repairable.
