Re: key not sounding on my K3 -- easy fix?

2007-01-16 by petershauger

Thanks AndyBat, that's great news.

That's funny about the weight of it. That's actually partly why I 
purchased this one. I figured, anything this heavy had to be 
good...the old "they don't make em like they used to" theory.

A question about checking if the pad fell off--how do I check that 
exactly? I see four screws on the top of the keyboard, can I just go 
ahead and take the lid off, or am I gonna screw things up if I do?

the key hasn't fallen off thereby not operating it before ordering 
any replacement key (they are all incdentally modular and can be 
replaced individually. but you need to note which key it is as when 
i ordered they actually all had individual part numbers.

great. although admittedly it's a heavy beastie. but soo robust. And 
still holds a pretty unique niche.
