MK VI - 10 year maintenance tune-up

2009-11-27 by ClayE

The cabinet seems to be twisting a bit.  The 1st three white keys sometimes stick.  (Rubbing on the cabinet front board).  The flywheel is only clearing the cabinet by hair.  I unscrewed the six screws securing the main frame, gave it a twist and tightened them up.  I now have good clearance in both spots.

I put it back together, spill box cover on, keyboard on...check, check.  Couldn't get a sound ont of it.  What the fuck?  

Forgot to put the tape frame in.  That might be the problem.
