Hi,
 
What's the problem with the keyboard ? The keys are in bad condition or the carbon contacts don't work anymore ?
 
If the contacts are non working, i repair mine using a Chemtronics CircuitWorks Conductive Pen, it's a silver tint, i open the pen i put some tint over the carbon contact and i put it over a lamp to vulcanize the tint for about 5 to 10 minutes.
 
If your keys are broken try to get another broken synth that use the same kind of keys, like, prophet 600, MAX, Multitrak, Kawai SX210, Polysix, etc... or try ebay.. i watched the other day a sequential circuits MAX replacement keyboard NOS.
 
Also check the bushes of the keys, if you feel that the key are loose and strike the metal, maybe the bushes are broken, you can use Thermofit to replace the bushes.
 
Hope this information can help you !
 
Regards an happy new year !

The keyboard on mine was also bad when I got it.
I found that the back of the keys where not hitting the sensor bar
with enough force.
To make it work I made a note of all the keys that didn't produce
sound and I simply shaved down the plastic spacers between the key
bed and the sensor bar until, when fully assembled, they worked
regularly.
Its not complicated, just file down the plastic spacers until the
keys around that spacer/spacers produce sound when assembled.
Hope this helps,
-D

My problem is not so simple. Someone made a very poor attempt at
replaing the printed cicuit board that has the contacts on it and
ended up destroying it. If I can't find a replacement, then this
monopoly is toast. Its unfortunate because the electronics appear
to be OK

do you own another analog keyboard with CV? you can controll it that
way if its just the keys.
