Sounds like a great solution Bob for all of us Vintage Synth fans with recurring key contact problems. You are the man!

Thank you so much Bob, your kit help me replace all of the contacts on my Roland Juno-D, and now it works like new again. Took a few hours, and I did lose a couple discs, but once I got the hang of it things were smooth. I played a show the night I did the replacement, and it went perfect. Thanks again!

Thanks Bob, I purchased 2 packs of the Nasa pads for my Juno D and redid all the keys (122 contacts) works great and like new now. Recommended product A+++

Robert - thanks a million for this - you are a great resource.

@Ni5ei That's great to hear! Probably because on this particular keyboard Roland has had a lot of problems. (like I say if under warranty just get it replaced!!) I deal mostly in 'no longer in stock' items of that nature where it's part of a scrap out of what sometimes would be an otherwise ok but cosmetically ganked unit or something. So to make it play out I have to charge more like 10 bucks a strip or so depending on length. I usually figure 1.50 per contact on vintage ones.

I've seen cases where near every contact is fouled so it's certainly possible. What you need to do is 1) open the keyboard up being careful not to touch anything in the power supply ac/inlet area of course when it's plugged in and unplug it to set this all up 2) On these you have to get it where you can remove keys in a section so you can get the rubber cups so you can pull up one at least. 3) use foil etc. to short a contact with it on and see if the key sounds then. If not it's not contacts

Great to hear! Yeah I'm not going to do more than just say it 'works on every silicon rubber membrane type contact'. THere are 100's of machines out there and remote controls that fall into this category :-). It's be an all consuming thing to list them all. hehe. But thanks for the testimonial on that one! I used to own an MMT-8. My first sequencer. I ran into a glitch on the earlier OS where I edited a sysex message and accidentally went past the end of the message. Destroyed all data.

*YOUR* keys did :-) I've done the same thing and it worked on some units. If you read my documentation you'll see that I began to find units that this would no longer work on. Furthermore some that I did that to failed again. Basically I think the carbon just eventually gets beaten out of them. Roland's pads I think and Kawai's and the Korg DS8 and some others used a deeper mix of carbon or something. Because I can always clean those with acetone ...continuing...

We ship anywhere of course. I just plastic sleeve the contact sheets and put them in a standard envelope and assuming nobody drops a meat tenderizer on it between here and there .. :-) so far so good! 26.00 for 75 contacts including ship is what we've been doing.qty discounts available.

@Ni5ei I have no idea what Roland charges per contact strip... those are 12 and 13 space. I looked up btw and there IS A SERVICE NOTE on this. To the ORIGINAL OWNER (proven by slips) they WILL upgrade the keyboard to an improved design! Good to know! See a service center near you and get that done if you are an original owner. If NOT they claim it's usually a dust issue so just following my cleaning instructions on the general synth tips on my sounddoctorin site.

@Arthur60 Thanks, I put up a link to this on the website instructions now. Blessings, -Bob
