Other upgrades available as well-custom color re-Tolex, or re-spray of top to custom color, for example. We can also rebuild the speaker unit at anytime and complete the unit, price TBD but we can offer a discount. (The easiest way to set it up is to use a table-top or heavy duty keyboard stand.) Comes with the wooden top and a new sustain pedal and pedal rod. This is actually the keyboard half of a suitcase model, with the speaker unit awaiting a rebuild, but we can arrange to have legs installed upon request. We of course spent a lot of time on the voicing, for a 6 to 7 level of bark on a 1 to 10 scale. New pots and wiring from Vintage Vibe, with a pair of sleek black knobs, accompany the new faceplate.
We individually cleaned each tine and tone bar and checked each pickup for proper specification. We brought this one back to life in the shop-new screws and grommets, hammer tips, and key bushings. We then made two custom exotic wood end blocks, each a two piece combination of bocote and ambrosia maple.
The original Tolex on this is in very good shape, and we added new case hardware and re-sprayed the top for a super clean look. Most importantly, we added the "miracle mod" key pedestal bump to make the touch of the keyboard more efficient and so much more enjoyable to play. This one is a gem! 1975 is one of Rhodes best years, all the characteristics that players seek out-wooden keys with flat key tops (not the skirted key covers), wooden harp supports and hybrid wooden hammer cams.
