<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I have noticed that since Schaff changed to a
softer plastic, that there appears to be surface marks on the
keys.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>They don't seem to buff out that easy, even
although I use a soft buffing wheel, one of the layered
ones.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I found that the easiest way to remove the
imperfections is to work up to 800 -1200 grit paper.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I think it was Ron Nossaman (sp) that
suggested this.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>With the harder plastic, these marks could be
buffed out. I think I have 7 more sets to go, then I will be on the lookout
for a different top for my replacement jobs.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV>List,</DIV>
<DIV>Just completed a set for a Lester console. What is the preferred
method of removing overhang of keytop on sides? I usually use a file and
sometimes a drum sander, but I'm looking for something more precise
.</DIV>
<DIV>Also, I noticed many fine scratches and imperfections in
this set. I was very careful with them and I don't think I was the
culprit.Anyone else seen the same? Schaff supplied.</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
