Fatar TP/8O keys spare parts

[Schorsch]

It‘s a self-built HX3 organ with 2 keybeds, the lower keybed has these 2 slightly damaged keys. So no organ manufacturers to ask

Well... Someone with a 3D-Printer among us here?

In order to find key parts, I usually list all keyboards with compatible keybeds. Then, I buy a cheap one on the used market and play the doctor by grafting keys.
If interested, I will check and share here the compatible keyboards with TP/80 ?
Another idea is to buy separate parts from Syntaur.

Hi Fred,

that would be awesome, thanks!

But well - the recommendation that solved my problem was the same as FZiegler posted:

And did you ask at https://www.synth-parts.com/ ?

Gregor Walbeck is doing a really great job with his business!

Called them but they don't provide parts for the TP/8O keybed, only TP/8S and TP/8+

Doepfer used to sell Fatar keybeds too, including TP8O; they no longer have it but maybe they could help you with finding parts in Germany?

Yep I sent an email to Doepfer and waiting for feedback - they still offer the TP/8O keybeds so maybe can help with spare parts as well - fingers crossed

Hi Fred,

Apart from Nord, I found Korg BX-3 and CX-3 + Numa Organ 2.
Don't know about the Mojo as it is not listed on the Syntaur website.

I believe the keys are labeled : K08W, to be confirmed.

I’m getting keys for replacement from Doepfer now, they are used but I don’t care as long as it works - and not expensive at 5€ each

Hi Fred, I got some pictures from the Korg BX-3 and CX-3, and the keys on these pictures seem not to be waterfall keys but looks more like a synthesizer style keybed?

Edit: just found that this is true for the 1st generation only, 2nd generation of the BX-3 has real waterfall keys
