Thanks!

Yea thanks! It's a ToneWheel Organ Hammond m3 from 1959, still in good shape!! but it miss something... a Leslie cab to hook it up!! hehe

Nice Story, but mine i've got the expression pedal with for 60$ but i sell it for about 150$ since 6 months, but this week end, i found a real nice Synth for 350$, a Yamaha CS-40M (1981) it works perfectly, and the sounds are just amazing!!

Hey! nice ELKA Rhapsody 610, i've got one last year for about 60$Can, but mine was black and gray!
Nice string sound, but the piano sound...... :lol:

Heres one of the only Pics i got of this:
My rhodes (8 months ago) and the ELKA RHAPSODY 610

sorry for all the reply, but i got a better pictures to illustrate my first question!

An other Question, Why this Rhodes got a bunch of little mtal pieces, is this for more lighter action? is this a good idea when your keys are much heavy (like my old rhodes that certainly take humidity)

Hi, This post remember me that i have a question:
Is this normal that i have red ''pad'' on my keys



and i see other pictures that they dont have these, they have it on the base of the hammer!
is this a différence between the older Fender Rhodes and the Rhodes?
which give a bether action?

Hi, i'll receive some new tines, and i want to know where or how can i get a copy of the Tine cutting measurment chart in 1:1 scale... I got it but when i print it, it down the scale a little bit, or somebody have the complete list of all dimention of all tines for a seventy three stage piano.
Or am i too dumb to be able to print it in 1:1 scale!
Plz Help me!

Thanks

Hi, I'm from quebec too (Drummondville) and i can say that the rhodes tines are very rare! For me, Ebay is the solution
(Parles-tu francais?)

okai! i dont think so, all the felt are very clean! i really think that the key near the hammer are rubbing...  i'll check tonight!

witch felt? bottom of the keys? dont think so, but i'll check tonight!

Hi, I Just play on my friend Rhodes (look like new) and then i go back to play with my own Rhodes (Look like is age hehe), and the key action is really not the same, because i think mine was stored in a place with a little bit of humidity, and my wooden keys (not all but half of them)rubs on each other more than a good condition Rhodes, its make the action more hard on some keys! I just want to know if I ''buf'' (little bit) the side of my keys, is theres a problem? Logicaly no, i think, but i want to know your point of view  (Sorry for my poor english, i'm French-Canadian)
Thanks!

You got a lid top and you dont know where to put it!
Sell it to me =P  hehe I Didn't got one!

I dont think so, i put a 30-40pound yamaha electone over my no brace rhodes, and theres no problems at all, i see many rhodes with a lot of hardware on it !

did your rhodes top is a round one? and how many pound is your XB-2 ? 'cause i want to put an other keyboard on the top, but it didn't seems to be really ''tough''!

There's my 1980(?) Rhodes Mark 1 Stage Piano(lot of work to do), i paid 200$CAN for it 1 months ago. i'll make restoration inside(tuning, adjust..) then outside (brand news hardware, logos etc..) for now he didn't get the perfect sound, but it'll come!! in 4-5 month i'll post other pictures to show  all the work!

there's a stamp that says : 73 keys (plus 4 numbers) on my higher keys(inside), i dont know if its a date or a serail #.

is that hohner pianet T? Well equiped!! what kind of sound it makes? (like rhodes i think, but what are the major differences with these two keyboards?!) i'm interest to get one one day!

is there a wurlitzer 200A on de left side?

My keys are made of wood

here is the numbers : the upper number is 2480(24th week of 1980), and the lower is 2605 (26th weeks of 1980(I supose), 5th day of the week =Friday)

its pretty strange

yea i know it, i dont know the number by heart, but its seem to be a zero (0) where the years is marked, can be 1970 or 1980.. i'll check it tonight and tomorow i'll post all the numbers..

i don't think so, but i dont know the story of my rhodes... everything is possible! thanks for the info!
i'll take other pictures(outside and inside), and i'll post them soon. Maybe we'll find that mystery answer

No, it's a Mark 1 and i got pictures to show you and its write on the board MARK 1 STAGE PIANO . its funny because the number on my rhodes is 2480 (weeks 24 of the year 1980) near of you hehe

How can i post pictures of it on the forum?!

I Just Bought a Rhodes Stage Piano Seventy Three for 200$ CAN, and inside the manufacturing date is 1980.. and on the site they said that they was made between 1975-1979. anybody can answer me?! (sorry for my poor english, i'm a french.
