Hi Miguel,
i restored my Minimoog Keyboard with the set from Virtual-Music - it is really fantastic!!
It feels now like playing a brand new organ, you can play it fast like the wind and it is very
quiet while playing - no clicks or so. Last week i got a NOS Minimoog Keyboard - i was the
first man who touched it with his fingers - and it´s not half so good.
Installing ist not difficult, you need a secound-glew (quick-glew or so, i don´t know the
english word for a very fast drying glew) and a quiet afternoon. Restoring the minis keys
took about 3 hours. I was very impressed about this cheap, easy and wonderful solution!
The original rubber-bushings would get old very fast and they are not so.....perfect.
You will think that you own a brand new keyboard and it will run better than new - believe
me!
OK, it will be a harder job to restore a complete Proph 10 Keyboard, because you have some
more keys....I would help you, but i am sitting here in germany....;-)
Best regards
Martin
