2142.0. "Pianet-N, parts needed" by MPGS::RJPELLETIER () Fri Oct 20 1989 01:04

    Hi All, I have a very old early 60's Pianet-N (electric) made by Honer
    and have been looking for a kit to rebuild it. The striker pads are no
    longer functional. They have dried and cracked and half of them have
    fallen apart. I have been looking for a couple of months for a kit and
    no luck. Honer at this time is out of them and they don't make'em any
    more. About the only chance I have of finding a kit would be to find
    one under a pile of dust somewhere on the back of someones shelf. Is
    there anybody out there that can help me out on this. I really hate
    to retire the old beauty, it has such a nice sound it would be a shame.
    
    I'd really appricate it if smoeone can give me a lead of anything that
    would help me find a kit.
    
    Please send mail to:

2142.1DYI striker pad ideasKALLON::EIRIKURACA/S & CDA Product Mgr.Fri Oct 20 1989 12:4714
You could probably cut replacement pads from a sheet of a similar plastic or
rubber material.  Which you might be able to find in a good hobby shop, fabric
store, sporting goods store (sorbothane?) or even carpet center (padding for
indoor/outdoor carpet?). 

I'm probably going to have to do this when I run out of spare strikers for my
Clavinet.  Actually, the Clavinet strikers seem similar to pencil eraser
material!

BTW, what's the number for Hohner U.S.?  I need the damper assembly.  Maybe
they still have those.
