Re: [AN1x] Opening her up

HI Jerry

I had the same kind of problems myself.

Just opened up the synth and vacuumcleaned the plastic ribbon beneath the
keys...
It was pretty filthy after five years of beating.

Sounds very simple, but it may take some time.

Remember its the bottom that comes off. Awful lot of screws inside, but you
don\ufffdt have to unscrew every one of them
Time consuming operation plus leftover screws all over the place.

regards Erkki
