mineral plastic and mammoth ivory you asked about

[rjwag at pacifier.com]

Hello Gordon,

I'm assuming that you need to replace all keytops.

But if not, the Acrylikey II kit remains available for chip repair and
allows precise matching to existing key colors.

You may want to check www.wagner-technical.com.  It is available via
Pianotek Supply Co. too.
