I am wondering if anyone has worked on one of these Kurzweil Model 152’s replacing any typical maintenance items etc … my light board not turning on.

All I know that this point is that the entire ‘ light rope ‘ can be replaced, the part costs 160$.

In addition i need to clean my contact bar , some of my notes are ringing …. i am thinking of doing the job all in one shot.
