Parts, Service, Maintenance & Repairs / Missing Rhodes 73 Case Lid

« on: April 23, 2008, 03:38:29 PM »

it's seem pretty simple to do with wood and tolex, but i'm asking if someone can  measure the lid, mine too is missing!

I have a friend who have one, the later version (1980), so if i have the time, i'll measure it and do a drawing!

Sorry for my poor english, i'm french

« on: December 10, 2007, 08:24:31 AM »

Hi! Yesterday my brother and I begin a DIY Project, the DPM900 ''ProEQ''.
We follow the Schematic on the German site and it works well!






The Next Step is a ''namePlate'' for the ''overtone'' and ''normal'' Knob!
And we'll add some effect like : Phase 90, Chorus, Tremolo

PS: Whats the best chorus for a rhodes?

Thanks

Other Keyboards & Software Synths / Little Buzz on one notes

« on: June 06, 2007, 03:41:29 PM »

Hi, i brought a very good shape Wurlitzer last week, and i don't know anything about servicing.

Since one or 2 days, i got a little ''buzz'' on the lower ''F'', i'm sure that is a ''ground'' issue, but i cannot see where...
ANd other thing, certain time, i got all the Right side of my keyboard making a kinf of ''bozz'' or a ''bad connection (Kind of overdrive) '' sound... i sure that is again a ground issue!

and one last thing, last week i was checking the interior, and i broke a little Ground by inadvertence.. the one behind, just in the middle of the Hammer set. Maybe this will fix my ''right side'' keyboard probleme.. but for the first bozz, i don't know what appen!

I know my english suck, i'm french, but there's not that much info on the internet!

Thanks
Tehu

« on: March 15, 2007, 07:29:21 AM »

Yes, no problem with the sound!  it look worst than they really are.

Parts, Service, Maintenance & Repairs / Problem Number Two - The Buzzzzz !!

« on: March 14, 2007, 10:34:33 AM »

Hi, last week my rhodes tech tell me that when he put, for exemple, a Roland Jupiter 8 on his rhodes, theres a buzzz like you said, thats definetly the pickup, but mine, is realy near a computer, and it does not affect the sound at all. But my tech noticed that my pick-up was ''taped'' over the red wire (around the pick up) and he said that he never see that kind of pick up. Logically, he said that maybe avoid probleme like you have, but its just speculation

I got a pictures of my pick up, is anyone ever see that kind of pick up
