As promised, here are some more pictures of the work replacing the rubber contacts. The first picture here shows the new rubber contacts half the way installed, in order to fit the little rubber feet into the PCB holes I used and lost and forgotten unmatched earring (Notice: no harm or threatening was done on the wife in order to get it). The last picture shows the rubber contacts in place. Once again, thank you all for your contributions to this thread!

Hello everyone, I'd like to say thank you for the information posted here. Last year I got an SK-1 73, didn't realize that one key was always playing at full velocity, mostly because I've been playing organ patches only. One day I decided to give a try to the electric pianos and some other soft keyboards and was then when I found that something was wrong with the sensitivity on that one key. Looking around the internet I landed on this page and that was how I tried to do the repair on my own. Following Rustar's experience, I also ordered the rubber contact The Midi Store (https://www.midi-store.com/Fatar-Rubber-Contact-for-SL880-990-13-12-p/sku17166.htm), actually, I ordered two, just in case After successfully replacing the rubber contacts, the sensitivity on that single key was restored, thus, I thought to share some pictures is the least I could do, so here they are: The first picture shows the new vs the old rubber contacts, notice that they have some sort of number, not sure if that matters, but in my case they work perfectly fine. The second picture shows a cleaned up PCB without the rubbers. As sugested Jim Alfredson and DenCV I cleaned up the contacts. As the limitation is just 2 pictures per post (might be because I'm new here, I don't know) I'll post another set of pictures on a separate post.
