Pretty much anything else is fixable somehow. The 2 that I've redone have all had wire pots (rheostats) for tuning. Might want to replace those with some good 10 turns and glue them to the boards. Keyboards were made with J wires and bus bars. Once those wear out it's pretty hard to keep them going. At one point you could buy bushings for the keyboards when those wore out. Don't know if you can still get those.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Good luck.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Jay S.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Synth-diy [mailto:synth-diy-bounces@synth-diy.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Quincas Moreira<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, May 05, 2017 8:33 PM<br><b>To:</b> synth-diy mailing list<br><b>Subject:</b> [sdiy] Model D service<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Hey SDIY geniuses!
