OldSynths

Hm... I wondered about the Rogue since I have a Prodigy with the Japanese
keyboard unit and I always thought that no Prodigy came with the Pratt-Reed
keyboard. However a quick web search "confirmed" that the Rogue used P-R.

Does anyone know if Prodigy's or Rogues were ever built with Pratt-Reed
units?

Hi Masada,

Thanks for the fast response, I thought that before I place an order
for the bushings that I'd better check, just as well that I did.

The keyboard in my Rogue has 'Made in Japan' and 'ESK 492A' written on
it and doesn't have bushings. Upon closer inspection it does indeed
have....you guessed it!...two felt strips running the lenght of the
keyboard. To replace these will require a complete strip and removal
of all keys, but at least I know what I need to do now.

Many thanks again for your help, I'm sure others will find the link
you sent useful.

Take care,

Clive.
