after i cleaned my polysix contacts i had problems with a few remaining  iffy keys....  even recleaning didnt help.... what DID wirk was simply hitting the key dozens of times in a row...eventually the occasional playing key became a consistantly playable key... this worked on all the iffy keys i had. .......  now all is fine ...This is true.

Subject: [PolySix] Screws/rubber contacts


Now that the effects board is back in action, my P6 is now 99% there
at last! I just have to fit a new battery, load the factory presets
and it should be ready for use. :-)

Unfortunately I lost the box where I had kept the screws I had
removed, so I now need to source the screws needed to secure the
KLM367, keyboard, and front panel. Anyone know what the different
types are?

And I also have some worn rubber keyboard contacts. I've cleaned the
gold contacts with isopropyl, and tried rubbing all the rubber key
contacts with a pencil eraser. Some keys are still refusing to work
reliably though. Has anyone found a method for 'revitalising' them?
There is a rubber keypad repair kit (conductive paint) available from
www.action-electron ics.com, but they only sell to the US, and I'm in
Ireland. What method have people here used to restore contacts?

Cheers
Frank
