Re: TKB Question face plate

2006-04-19 by John P

I don't think so... there's the soldering of 64 pots, the switches &
jacks too, plus probably dealing with the touchpads.
A lot of hand labor. Eek.

If the paper face TKB is in decent shape, just keep using it. If not,
get a quote from Rex on refurbishing or upgrading, but I would be really
surprised if it were not a large % of the cost of a new TKB. You could
maybe get another TKB on the used market, too.
