Any experience with vintagegear.eu parts

I'm looking for legs and a sustain pedal, which would ultimately go to Poland. Vintage Vibe's legs are out of stock, and I ran across the vintagegear.eu.

They sell a set of legs and pedal for 275 euro (about $290 right now). Does anyone have experience with the quality of these?

Thanks!

No experience, but it sounds like a fair price. I have good experience with ep-service but the parts you mentioned are available at a higher price over there (they are new though).

I like their legs a lot but he's still working out some cosmetic improvements on his sustain pedal. If you're not concerned about the cosmetics it functions fine. Custom Vintage Keyboards' legs are also very well built. The brushed aluminum is cool because you don't have to worry about plating and it looks sharp.

I sure wish I'd have found out about this site earlier. Not two months ago I ordered the legs and sustain pedal from https://www.ep-service.nl and they were considerably more expensive.

Well, well, besides that I'm very happy with the ones I got.

I've purchased a sustain pedal and legs from vintagegear.eu and I'm very happy with the result.

The sustain pedal is not wrapped in Tolex like the original, but it still looks very convincing and feels like I imagine my original one would have when it was new.

I don't believe the originals were Tolexed, but instead covered in a thick paint-spatter pattern. I've seen dings in them below the paint and they are just wood.

Cinnanon is right, they are wood with a textured paint finish.

They're aluminum. Some bare metal with a brushed finish, some with matte black paint and some with black crinkle paint.

I think you' re talking about a Rhodes pedal  :P

Doggone it. How did I end up in the Wurlitzer section?

I wondered how they could mistake that pedal for wood.
