[@keyboardkingpin]

Great video very interesting repair. You definitely have your work cut out for you but doing great!

[@mountaintoprepairshop664]

Thanks! Part 2 and Part 3 have some custom work that I'm really pleased with. I'm hoping to have those uploaded soon.

@mountaintoprepairshop664 Nice I'll keep an eye out. I also do videos and I love vintage Roland gear.I'm always happy when I see it staying alive!

[@mountaintoprepairshop664]

@keyboardkingpin I like your videos! Especially the two man green screen intro. I had a DR-660 back in the day. I remember taking it with me on family vacations and programming beats at my Aunt's retreat down in Florida.

Thank you so cool. I have got a 60 that I bought in 1981 with issues of course. Mostly works but hey I am going to try and give it TLC. I live in the UK and not an expert but some of it looks possible

[@mountaintoprepairshop664]

That sounds great! There are lots of parts available for the 60 and lots of help online for most issues. I even came across the technical schematics in a pdf file.

Guess I was lucky, the 60 I got from a family friend had an intact bender.

[@mountaintoprepairshop664]

Luckier than I was! But it's actually pretty lucky that a part like this for a keyboard that has been out of production for almost 40 years is readily available! On the other hand, trying to get bender parts for the less popular Alpha Juno from 1985 has been quite difficult.

At time code 13:05 you mention and remove the plastic strip key retainer. What glue do you use to replace that strip?

[@mountaintoprepairshop664]

I actually didn't put it back in. But If I wanted to, I would lay the strip on a piece of cardboard and give it a light coat of 3M 77 Spray Adhesive. That should hold it in place when reinstalled. The metal keybed may need to have the old glue cleaned off first.

@@mountaintoprepairshop664 Thanks for the reply

I have 60 and original owner. bought in 82-83. It's been sitting for over 30 years. Everything works except the output...i guess needs repair. Where do you recommend I go for repair? I am in S. TX

[@mountaintoprepairshop664]

I'm up I'm VT, and I've been getting most of my keyboard parts from a keyboard repair shop in New Braunfels, TX. It's in between San Antonio and Austin. It's a company called Syntaur. The owners name is Sam Mims. They have a wonderful team, and their website is Syntaur.com.

In my experience, letting those keys soak for longer in a bath of baking soda reduces the manual scrubbing.

[@mountaintoprepairshop664]

That sounds excellent. Those keys had years of nightclub grime on them. It was really stubborn.
