AW: [PolySix] Key Rubbers

AW: [PolySix] Key Rubbers

2005-10-13 by olgu@tiscali.de

Hi,

I don't know.

But have you already tried to clean them ?

You should use pure alcohol for the copper/gold contacts. If there are still
markings on the gold after that, you can use a rubber (which you normaly
use to remove pencil strokes from paper) to clean the surface mechanically.

The black pads on the rubber seem to be not too problematic (I've cleaned
many keypads so far on different devices, but not on the P6 so far....).
I usually demount them and clean them with water and a soft brush.
I'm always afraid that the small black parts get loose during cleaning, but
it never happened so far, so you can try it.

But maybe yours is totally damaged, so this wouldn't help at all .....

Regards and good luck!

Olaf

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I have already had them cleaned but the technician said a couple of
them are on there way out. I assume this would be a common problem in
a few years as mine is in fairly good condition. I have been told by
some people that other korg key rubbers will fit but others have told
me that they wont. They are all ok for now but I imagine soon I might
have some keys that wont work :-(
I guess the only solution would be to get the midi kit and control the
polysix externally.
Cheers,
Meezy

I had a few key rubbers missing from my Polysix. I had
a broken tv lying around and I took apart the remote
control and found somewhat similar rubber pads there
and fitted them on my Polysix. So far so good, works
like a charm... :)
