[CAUT] Rhodes

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

Good Luck !!

Dave
