Hey, so I've bought this Rhodes a couple years ago and I suspect the preamp may have been modified. I can barely push it level above 3 without the sound being VERY loud. Wondering if that sounds normal to those of you who have a 5 pin Janus suitcase Rhodes?

Hey everybody. Bought a new suitcase Rhodes (Janus 100w) in may. After a few days the right speaker stopped working and I noticed that the fuse was blown so I replaced it. From the day I received the Rhodes there was a quite loud hum in the right speaker so I then took the amp to a tech. He couldn't find the issue so he swapped the power amp module with a newer one he had and that fixed the hum. But a couple months later and today the same fuse has just blown again.  so it blew with two different power amp modules connected to it.

Any idea what could cause this ?

Hello everybody,
I've been lurking for a while but finally ended up creating my own account.  Very thankful for the amount of great info I read on here.  However I have a question my searches did not provide a reply to.

I recently bought a new suitcase Rhodes Mark II that has a bit of rust on some of the pickups magnets.

I'd like to get rid of it but don't want to do anything stupid. Should I just sand it off with fine sandpaper? Leave it that way? Use some kind of product maybe?

Help would be much appreciated!
Cheers.
