Replacement PCB for Nord Electro 3 73

Postby Justindwiseman » 06 Mar 2018, 07:08

I'm pretty convinced my NE373 needs a replacement PCB for the upper half, and I'm looking for a link where I can buy one... I've searched through this forum and googled, but haven't found a direct link for one for a 73. Everyone raves about a tech named Pablo who maybe can help??

The problem I'm aiming to solve is that one of the keys on the upper half (B above middle C) hits maximum velocity too quick. It can, interestingly, play lower velocities (the force it takes to play 50% velocity on the keys around it make the problem key play at full velocity), and I've cleaned the contacts and PCB (which didn't solve the problem), so I've ruled out a spec of dirt being the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

You can contact Pablo (Mastodon) via the official US distributor, American Music and Sounds, see http://www.nordkeyboards.com/distributors

However, usually is not the PCB but the rubber contacts that get worn and need replacement.

Unfortunately I re-arranged the rubber contact strips so that a different contact was hitting that note, and I still had the same issue on the same note. :(

Any leads on a new PCB for a 73 electro 3 would be appreciated!

I went thru this with my E3 (61) last year. Pablo directed me to Full Compass b/c I live in Wisconsin and they are in Madison. I think this may be what you are looking for, but I would call or contact them before ordering to be sure.
