Hi guys,

I purchased a 1980 wooden key Mk2 suitcase top over the weekend. I got a great deal on it. It's my second Rhodes and I'm really happy with it. I'm planning on buying a Janus external power supply but would love to acquire a suitcase for it. Having checked on the net there doesn't seem to be any for sale and I get the feeling that it's not a common occurence. Has anyone seen them for sale before or is it a pipe dream?

Thanks

Hi guys,

My first post on the forum. I'm currently restoring my 1976 mk1 stage and I think I've caught the restoration project bug! There's someone selling a Mk2 suitcase top near Montreal that's missing the suitcase. They lady is selling it for her father. Neither of them know anything about Rhodes pianos. They were asking 800$ adverstising like it was a steal comparing it to a complete suitcase on reverb going for 1650$ USD. I explained to them that it woukd need a suitcase conversion kit and the usual grommet, damper, key restoration. I'm going to look at it tomorow and told them depending on the condition I could offer 200-300$. They said they would accept 300$. Do you guys think that's a fair price? Appreciate your input.
