Hi folks,
I have a repair question. A friend has a Kustom Electric piano in need
of a part and they seem to have gone out of business. Does anybody
know if they've been picked up by somebody else where I may obtain
a part?
What I need to do is replace the coil used to master tune the main
oscilltor for the keyboard. Tuning on this thing is via a slug
inside a coil which is now mashed. The thing is about 2 full tones
out and in a pinch I'm sure I can fix it so it will be in tune but not
adjustable.
For now he can brush up on his transposing skills.
Thanks,
Frank

That kind of part is going to be hard to find. I would suggest
replacing it with an oscillator, just injecting the signal at a
reasonable point in the circuit.
The other thing to do is to physically rebuild the coil, molding it
from epoxy or something like that.

I guess I dont' have a problem after all. I actually say the part
this morning and it's nothing moret than a tunable coil and its even
got it's value (adjustable range) written on it. Piece of cake!
Thanks,
Frank
