Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Key Pressure on Omni 6000

2002-01-30 by guitarampsky@juno.com

Jeff,
 Morlock's Organ Parts has aquired the parts and service manuals for
these. You can find their phone number at the MITA web site or drop me a
note at work 'stevcoparts@...' and I'll get it for you.
Hope this helps,
 Lynn
