Repairing and restoring a Kurzweil K2500 & K2600 Fatar TP-10 keyboard keybed.

Описание к видео Repairing and restoring a Kurzweil K2500 & K2600 Fatar TP-10 keyboard keybed.

NOTICE: I AM NOT A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN: USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS, TOOLS, MATERIALS AND METHODS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND PERIL.

Obviously, this is a rough DIY instructional video. Yes, I am fully aware that there are a few spots of (minor) conflicting or incomplete information. Sorry, but two days of my life is all I was willing to devote to your Kurz' resuscitation, jaja.

A few notes:
UNPLUG THE UNIT BEFORE DISASSEMBLY!
The lid will not be entirely "portable" with the proscribed screws removed; there are multiple ribbon cables connecting stuff. However, you shall be able to manuever it aft enough to ease removal of the keybed assembly.
The keybed frame has many sharp metal features: USE CAUTION!
The keybed has 4 ribbon cables that connect it to the synth: take PICS and also MARK them.
The keybed assembly is not light. I'd estimate 45#/20kilos and it is bulky & awkward to remove & replace; seek assistance as required.

I also experimented installing 2 layers of felt. Although the result was a phenomenally quiet keybed, it caused the actual playing key-surface to be comically out of level while notably affecting the velocity response.
Failed experiment, 6-hours to correct.
Don't try.

PS- The restored 2500xs is for sale for $900.
Floppy drive replaced by USB unit.
Quiet fan installed.
Super clean.
Hard manual (for 2600, but complete).
No case, no pedals.
Possible delivery to Socal/Norcal, Vegas/Reno, Portland/Seattle.

Cheers
