Single non-functioning key on a 6HD . . . .

Thanks Jesse, I'll take a look.

Do we have a DEFINITIVE Say-so on which Fatar keybeds reside in the 6HD AND the 8HD?

The other forum seems divided on the subject, with the 8HD having a TP/40 or a TP/9

The 6HD seems unknown . . .  Perhaps I'll find out when I open mine? - but I don't know where to look - and even IF the keybeds themselves are marked with a type number in any case?

Fatar's own site is about as much use as a cat-flap in an elephant-house as regards information OR spares  . . . .  (Grrrrrr)

Any ideas anyone?

The Alesis SM's BOM for the 6HD usefully describes the keyboard part number as a "61-note keyboard" - BRILLIANT!

Thanks Jesse . . . . .

Not the CLEAREST markings for sure, I guess the "880" is the significant one?

I found this on ebay: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fatar-Studiologic-Rubber-Contact-Strips-13-12-Replacement-contact-keyboard-strip-/371026557356?clk_rvr_id=1142360934485&rmvSB=true

The seem to be like the ones shown in that .pdf

The description says for ALL Fatar keybeds . . .  perhaps it's true

It's a shame that the postage is 3 x the price of the actual item though, as the MIDIStore itself won't ship to the UK (US Only)

I've not found a source so far in the UK.

Still, I'm hoping that a clean will suffice in my case, but anyway, I need to suss out how to get at the pcb where the contacts are . . 

perhaps it will be obvious when I get it open?
