Thanks for asking: the Clavioline needs new felt under the keys, most of
the presets don't work including the vibrato. I've tried cleaning all the
contacts with Deoxit with some slight improvements. It's a Gibson concert
model. The Model L Solovox is functioning except for the vibrato but I'd
like it cleaned up and fully working. There's got to be a good keyboard
tech somewhere stateside who is available?! We've got two great mellotron
guys right here on the east coast---TD
