RMI electra-piano repair

2001-06-16 by Brian Andrew Marek

Hey all, I got my RMI electra-piano today.  I've already managed to fix
up some issues with organ mode and sustain, and I got one
non-functioning key to work.  However, there still remains 3
non-functioning keys.  I've fiddled about with some stuff in there but
haven't figured out the problems quite yet.  I know that it's not the
key contacts - they are definitely creating a circuit, as they will
produce the percussive sound when pressed with the "accent" tab on -
they just aren't producing the instrument tone.  Well, actually, one
NEVER produces the tone, another produces the tone much quieter than any
other key, and the third produces an even quieter tone than that, but
only once in a great while.  So basically I'm wondering if anybody has
any leads on what the most common problem in this situation is?  I don't
think it's the oscillator coils, at least not in the case of the two
that sort of produce a tone.
