Need a part for minimoog D

[passepassecom]

Hi everybody
I'm a new french owner of a Minimoog D synth.
I must change some parts on the keyboard.
Anyone know which is the name of this rubber parts ?



Where can I find it ?

Thanks a lot for your help !

(I'm desesperate because I've waste a lot of time to search it on Internet...but nothing)

Those are the actuators that pull the contact springs to the buss bars when you press a key. Probably not going to be easy finding them... you might want to try contacting CAE Sound or Syntaur to start... I was working on one a few years ago trying to fix a key issue and lost the rubber trigger dome that sits under the key... I was fortunate to have Kevin Lightner, who has since passed, send me a few of them to save my a$$. The Minimoog Pratt-Read keyboard assembly differs greatly from the standard ones you see on ARPs and SCI units; those rubber parts are not common. I wonder if they changed the type of assembly near the end of production at all? Maybe someone else who has a late-model D would know. The Mini uses spring contacts where the majority of PR assemblies use J-wire contacts.

Either way, good luck.

I've never been able to source these

MKI (White Face Odysseys) also use the same assembly - I've fixed a few in the past using 2 or 3mm thick neoprene strips (cut from a sheet), the actuator pin hole was made with a rotary punch and the other end glued onto the main spring block with rubber cement.

Hope this helps.
