Vintage Synth Repair

It's an issue of all keys having a threshhold where softly keyed notes do not sound at all. And it's not even that soft a keystroke that produces no note for every key. I should complain and I should've known better as I spent about 20 years not taking gear there for repairs. Now they've got my Moog Source that needs a new battery and caibration and my favorite Odyssey that shorted out when I flexed the brittle old power cable. Can't wait until I see what they've done with those if and when they get through with them.

sounds like they never cleaned the contact correctly
 
its a fatar keybed anduses the double rubber contacts per key if keys are pressed gently they hit the first rubber contact if pressed hard both contacts strike

when they fixed the aftertouch they should of checked this for you to make sure when it left it was working correctly

as they had to strip the keyboard for checking the aftertouch and if it was working before they stripped the keybed 

then its there fault and should check it for free

It had been one of the more supple and responsive keyboards now it feels just plain wrong. Is there a diagnostic or calibration page for recalibrating the keyboard? I could take it back where it was for the last many months but that feels wrong too.
