Loss of pianisimo ? (heavy key press only to activate) on 2 keys. That
area schema/views not on elektrot. 2 contacts per key?, one worn or
dirty per key?




Nearly always due to dirty or worn key contact rubbers. These are
usually in octave strips available from the manufacturer.
Don't bother trying to repair these with paint etc. Really.
(Sometimes its just due to dirt - tobacco, pet hairs etc which can be
cleaned off)

Each key has 2 contacts, one hits the PCB before the other, the time
difference calculating the speed of impact, and thus loudness of note.



Gareth.

Assuming if not just grime, I have a large collection of zapper contact
sheets, to cut a couple of dimples from, and give them a go




No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Really.


I knew that was going to happen.

Oh ye of little faith, Gareth. I'm sure he would be able to make them work
again nearly like new by coating with foil from a cigarette packet, or if
it's a *really* professional unit, Bacofoil ... :-)

Arfa
Greetings Arfa,
I'm in America. I have never heard of "Bacofoil". Is it just aluminum
foil? I know that we share many products that go by different names.
But then there are a few products that we don't share with you folks
on the other side of the water. Like Marmite, for example. I can buy
Marmite here, but I won't.
Cheers,
Eric




Eric, Marmite is really good for adding to a gravy that is a bit sweet,
fatty, or otherwise insipid or just not wide enough.
You only need a little, though. (If you can taste the Marmite you've put
too much in)
It can really open the whole thing out.

Anchovy does similar things to food that requires "something more to liven
it up but I don't know what".
Again you don't want it tasting of Anchovy.




Gareth.
