Prophet 10 keyboard

2009-02-11 by Miguel Mendoza

Hello group, I'm preparing to restore the bottom keyboard of my Prophet 10 using the Universal Keyboard Upgrade from http://www.virtual-music.at/webseiten_e/zubehoer/sequential.htm#keyboard
I have been seeing that is very different of this one: http://pweb.netcom.com/~arcsound/how_it_works.htm Please, anyone experienced doing this repair? Anyonre know wich one is better/more similar to the original keyboard behaviour?
And I also would be very thankfull for any info about disassembling the bottom keyboard. Is it necesary to remove the side wood pannels or the screws of the bottom metal surface? Or both? I would like not to move too much the synth as it is very heavy and difficult to manipulate and I'll do it alone...
Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers!
Miguel.
