mul Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I am currently fixing up my triton le 76. I got the replacement keys from a Eb store in the uk. I believe the triton le and the dx7 had the same keys so with this in mind I have deduced that because of the obvious nicotine staining on the individual white keys. These are refurb keys. Either from a dx or similar board. My question is this. I have not yet replaced the keys so ....... Is there any safe way I can return the original white sheen to the keys. I don't want to chemically weaken what could be nearly 30 year old plastic with a sodium hydroxide solution !!! My triton has been kept in smoke free environments all it's life and the difference between the shades of white are obvious.

Jazzwee Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 How about Hydrogen Peroxide? It's used to bleach your teeth (food/nicotine stains)... Hamburg Steinway O, Crumar Mojo, Nord Electro 4 HP 73, EV ZXA1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DulceLabs.com Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 +1 to the sun or UV light. I also read adding some Oxy laundry booster in with the peroxide to act as a catalyst works really well. Whatever you end up doing, try it on a small spot of an end key.. just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodyMary Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Triton LE doesn't feature the same Yamaha FS keyboard as in Triton classic/DX7/EX5/motif. I believe it's a Fatar keybed. Which is also fine! Stage: MOX6, V-machine, and Roland AX7 Rolls PM351 for IEMs. Home/recording: Roland FP4, a few guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mul Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks guys. I will try these solutions. I may have to use a uv lamp cause I live in Ireland and we don't really have that much sunshine. Cheers Bloody Mary for the point of order!!!

J. Dan Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I knew I saw a discussion on this before, but couldn't find it. Did some searching and at least came up with the product: RetroBright How to make it: CLONK Dan Acoustic/Electric stringed instruments ranging from 4 to 230 strings, hammered, picked, fingered, slapped, and plucked.
