Keys stick after replacing bushings (pratt-read)
Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2012 7:41 pm
So I just replaced the bushings in an Arp Odyssey. This Pratt keybead is different from my minimoog. There is no metal frame with a keycap.
This one has keys made entirely of plastic. So I removed all keys and replaced the bushings. The bushings were coated in Dow Corning 7 lube as recommended.
Problem is that the keys are a little sluggish and if it sits for a few minutes, once I hit a key it sticks and then breaks free. It's subtle and feels almost like an old Pianet T the way the key action feels.
Anybody have any advice? I ordered some more Dow Corning 7 to put extra lube on the bushings but maybe it's something else.
