Vintage Synth Repair

76 keys. 

If you just remove the bender/mod cheek blocks 4 screws(smaller with large washer) , lift and unplug after-touch cable. and then all of the screws that go into the keybed assembly(flat headed into plastic screws), you can slide the the keybed up and forward, slip your hand under and disconnect the ribbon cables, then remove keybed without popping the button panel off.
