Alan First I recommend you have a Fender Rhodes Tech overhaul your piano. It ain't like rebuilding an old upright. Saying that, I'm sure you can figure it out if you have the time. In our area I recommend David Ell of the Tri-Cities. He did an excellent job on our suitcase Rhodes for around $ 800.00. davidell73@hotmail.com If you want to go it alone, there are several business around the country that specialize in Rhodes Parts. You can start here http://www.fenderrhodes.com/ looking. Good Luck !!
