Just a word in Kevin's behalf, I would trust what he says.
Did you ask him what he recommends to do?

Subject: [vintagesynthrepair] Micromoog Question

Hey all.

I just purchased a 1977 model Moog Micromoog in awesome condition and
playability except for two small issues: The pitch ribbon no longer
responds (would seem typical) and the first octave E note seems to
have a bad key contact because it lays fine when you kinda slam down
on the key but I noticed this problem after I opened up the synth to
clean all the ivories. Coming from what I've seen, it's a very basic
synth inside and a lot of air space. My question is, how easy is it
to replace the pitch ribbon material? Kevin from Synthfool has the
material for sale but he asked me if I was sure I could manage the
repair myself so now I'm a little concerned that it will be more
daunting than expected. Any ideas? I do have a service manual... but
it doesn't help for logistics. LEt me know if anyone has experiencde
with this. Thanks!

Mike
