I had a Rippen with the fold-down keyboard.

All that plastic and the snap-in flanges did not lure me into working on it.

The action went to Debbie Legg for parts on her customer's piano, the case
is still around in pieces, some of it went to make a music rack for an
antique'd
white Kimball grand earlier this year (can out pretty good, jpg available).
The plate and strung back, as fine a decoration that it was finally ended
up in
the
landfill since no one wanted it.

Deffinately a curiosity.
