Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Pratt-Reed keyboard parts...

2013-07-17 by Adrian Corston

I recently did a P-R keyboard restoration using short pieces of 3mm (approx) diameter flexible clear plastic tubing for exactly this purpose. They didn't have a closed cap over the top but it didn't matter in the slightest. I was able to cut them to whatever length I wanted, too, which was handy. The tubing is brand new so it should last for many years. Total cost for 1 metre was something like $1.20 which is enough for about a two hundred or so of them :-)

Let me know if you want a photo of what I mean...

Cheers,
A.

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some Pratt-Reed keyboard spares. Those little rubbery "greased" caps that fit underneath each key and sit on top of the dog-legged actuating arms. I've got quite a few that are split and would like maybe find a second hand unit to take these bits from...

Anyone have anything like that please?

Cheers,
TOM
