Looking for a replacement top c key for my prodigy. It’s an early version so can’t take any ol’ Pratt=Read key … I think the Satellite and Micro had the same early ones with the part number K34UBL. The 'bay has none and Syntaur is out. Any help would help ![]()
Kevin Lightner probably has one… Edit: should have written “might have one”, since it’s the C prime that you need which is harder to find…
BTW, you are aware that your avatar is a broken link ?
Double thnx
Hoping Kevin can help … it scares me when people seem to be having a hard time finding even the later version keys. Fingies crossed.
I looked. I don’t have one.
Top C keys (C - prime) are harder than most to find.
Sorry.
The lowest and the top keys are most often broken.
And the top C is only available once per keyboard.
So cannibalising a old keyboard gives you several of the other keys, but just one top key.
Thanks fellas, I sourced one from Archive Sound (arcsound@ix.netcom.com). They are listed as mini keys but the other early moog models use the same 34U style P&R keyboard. Phhhhhewwwww! Cheers!
I’ve never seen a Prodigy that uses Mini keys.
If I had, I’d offer you one of the MANY Pratt-Read NOS C prime keys I have here.
Good luck tho. ![]()
One of my friends, many years ago, had bought a used Prodigy with a Pratt-Read keyboard in it, I’m pretty sure. It had a very low serial number and was probably a very early version of it. I remember because it had a very smooth and almost “buttery” feel of its keys, much like my Minimoog D today, and at the time I had an MG-1 with a “cheap feeling” keyboard compared to it. This was around 1984.
So it’s not entirely impossible that a few early Prodigy had Pratt-Read keys.
Never know. Could have been replaced with a Pratt-Read.
It was a few years old and a used one, after all.
Either way, I can remember when they first came out and I never saw one like that.
Possible…
Hey, maybe the one he has is the exact same one that my friend had ? I know he sold it at one time.
And the OP is from Canada too… You never know, it’s a small world ! ![]()
I wonder how many Prodigy we produced ?
