Replacement keys/keyboard

Replacement keys/keyboard

2017-10-20 by phillipcaiken@...

My Polaris continues to run well, but there are issues with a few keys on the physical keyboard, and in general the action is pretty loose. Does anybody have the specs and/or source for replacements? Would love to actually have the whole keyed replaced, as I am emotionally attached to the instrument. :)

The action was never very "tight" to begin with. I believe it's a Panasonic keyboard. You can find replacement keys on eBay right now, except for the high C. (That's also the one that breaks most often, for some reason.)
