Dust my broom

This S3C73 now works 100% again.None of the key contacts are ripped.Just dusty.Once I got the left side key ribbon back in right all good!Guessing the 73 also uses an 88 ribbon?Will look twice next time.Power supply hum is gone too.All quiet.
Dust makes a difference.Wore a static guard so the main board would survive.
Not much different than the Roland JX8P aftertouch or contact strips.Previous experience with a Fatar keybed in a Roland RD170.Italian built Roland that has a flaw in Ab 6 sample/model.Weird overtone on that one.
Mind you the Nord Silver Grand has a buzzing low C.
Dust cover from now on!

Funnily enough my Roland FP-7F also has a very odd sounding Ab 6...
It's looking like it might be a problem with their software model assuming it's the same as is used in your RD170.
